Purpose of Review

Digital technology affords the opportunity to provide objective, frequent, and sensitive assessment of disease outside of the clinic environment. This article reviews recent literature on the application of digital technology in movement disorders, with a focus on Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Huntington’s disease.

Recent Findings

Recent research has demonstrated the ability for digital technology to discriminate between individuals with and without PD, identify those at high risk for PD, quantify specific motor features, predict clinical events in PD, inform clinical management, and generate novel insights.

Summary

Digital technology has enormous potential to transform clinical research and care in movement disorders. However, more work is needed to better validate existing digital measures, including in new populations, and to develop new more holistic digital measures that move beyond motor features.

运动障碍中的数字技术：更新、应用和挑战

审查目的

数字技术提供了在临床环境之外提供客观、频繁和敏感的疾病评估的机会。本文回顾了有关数字技术在运动障碍中的应用的最新文献，重点关注帕金森病 (PD) 和亨廷顿病。

最近的发现

最近的研究表明，数字技术能够区分患有和不患有 PD 的个体，识别那些处于 PD 高风险中的人，量化特定的运动特征，预测 PD 的临床事件，为临床管理提供信息，并产生新的见解。

概括

数字技术具有改变运动障碍临床研究和护理的巨大潜力。然而，需要做更多的工作来更好地验证现有的数字措施，包括在新人群中的验证，并开发新的、更全面的数字措施，超越运动特征。
