##Apple devices can identify early parkinson's disease##

The WATCH-PD research shows that apple devices can differentiate between individuals with early, untreated parkinson's disease and healthy controls

Apple smart phones and smart watches showed clear differences in a finger tapping task and in gaits between the PD and control groups

The apple phone contained an application that could assess verbal, cognitive and other abilities. Both the apple watch and phone had motion sensors

Generally, the control group performed better than the PD group in motor and cognitive tasks

These research findings help to facilitate remote monitoring of parkinson's patients and reduce inter-rater variability in the assessment of movements by providing objective measurements
