Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) such as connected sensors offer particular promise for improving data collection and patient empowerment in neurology research and care. This study analyzed the recent evolution of the use of DHTs in trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov for four chronic neurological disorders: epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. We document growth in the collection of both more established digital measures (e.g., motor function) and more novel digital measures (e.g., speech) over recent years, highlighting contexts of use and key trends.
数字健康技术（DHTs），如连接传感器，在改善神经学研究与护理中的数据收集以及增强患者权能方面具有独特的前景。本研究分析了在ClinicalTrials.gov上注册的针对四种慢性神经疾病（癫痫、多发性硬化症、阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病）的试验中DHTs使用情况的近期演变。我们记录了近年来在收集更成熟的数字测量指标（如运动功能）和更新颖的数字测量指标（如语音）方面的增长情况，突出了使用背景和关键趋势。
