Feasibility of a continuous, multi-sensor remote health monitoring approach in persons living with neurodegenerative disease.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRemote health monitoring with wearable sensor technology may positively impact patient self-management and clinical care. In individuals with complex health conditions, multi-sensor wear may yield meaningful information about health-related behaviors. Despite available technology, feasibility of device-wearing in daily life has received little attention in persons with physical or cognitive limitations. This mixed methods study assessed the feasibility of continuous, multi-sensor wear in persons with cerebrovascular (CVD) or neurodegenerative disease (NDD).
methodsThirty-nine participants with CVD, Alzheimer's disease/amnestic mild cognitive impairment, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (median age 68 (45-83) years, 36% female) wore five devices (bilateral ankles and wrists, chest) continuously for a 7-day period. Adherence to device wearing was quantified by examining volume and pattern of device removal (non-wear). A thematic analysis of semi-structured de-brief interviews with participants and study partners was used to examine user acceptance.
resultsAdherence to multi-sensor wear, defined as a minimum of three devices worn concurrently, was high (median 98.2% of the study period). Non-wear rates were low across all sensor locations (median 17-22 min/day), with significant differences between some locations (p = 0.006). Multi-sensor non-wear was higher for daytime versus nighttime wear (p < 0.001) and there was a small but significant increase in non-wear over the collection period (p = 0.04). Feedback from de-brief interviews suggested that multi-sensor wear was generally well accepted by both participants and study partners.
conclusionA continuous, multi-sensor remote health monitoring approach is feasible in a cohort of persons with CVD or NDD.
