One of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease years before the onset of the disease is slow movement. These people are slow to get up, make the bed and even prepare a cup of tea while walking.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, researchers recently conducted a study by testing 103,712 British people. These people used smart wristbands for a week. The results of this study do not mean the use of smart watches and conclusions based on its data. But these watches and their data can be used to identify talented people. According to scientists, and due to the lack of medicine to prevent or slow down this disease, identifying people before the disease will make it possible to test new drugs and save brain cells.
Since three years ago, the number of people using smart watches in the UK has reached 30%. For this reason, scientists believe that according to the available data of these watches, people can be identified in the early stages of the disease.
The obtained data related to 7 experimental days could predict the condition of the person in terms of contracting this disease in the next 7 years. Also, examining the data of this study has performed better than data such as family history, examination of genes and smoking and alcohol consumption, as well as primary symptoms such as loss of smell, lifestyle, examination of blood composition, etc. With the help of data related to smart watches, it is possible to diagnose Parkinson’s disease in people earlier than doctors’ methods.
