Integration of IMAS with Big Data. IMAS motor assessments can be performed in diverse settings (e.g., clinics, PT offices, or the patient’s home). We are building a database of IMAS data collected from PD patients at different times (“t” in the figure) and undergoing different treatments, including neuromodulation, PT or a combination thereof, as well as data from other patient cohorts with limited mobility (see Fig. 8). Engineered to facilitate systematic, quantitative data recording, along with software for automated data analysis, IMAS ensures the production of homogenous datasets. This homogeneity facilitates implementation of clinical protocols, enhances the comparability of results across clinical sites, and enhances statistical analysis for instance by reducing bias
