Study from Johns Hopkins suggests wrist-worn activity monitors can detect early Alzheimer's signs by analyzing daily activity patterns.
A study led by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggests that wrist-worn activity monitors could detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease by monitoring daily activity patterns. The study, which analyzed movement data from 82 cognitively healthy older adults, discovered significant differences in activity between those with detectable brain amyloid buildup and those without, suggesting that actigraphs could be used as a tool to detect early Alzheimer's before cognitive impairment occurs.
