Staff-guided technology | APDM mobility lab* | Wearable sensor system | Motion, gait and balance metrics | Complete set series of tasks in person | Annually | Not applicable | Staff guided after assessment |
Linus tester* | Tablet | Digital pen movement, multi-domain cognition | Complete set series of tasks in person | Annually | Not applicable | Staff guided after assessment | |
Digital voice recorder* | Voice recorder | Voice | Complete picture description and recall in person or remotely | Annually | Not applicable | Staff guided after assessment |
Device used during staff-guided assessments. Gait and balance sensors and tablet-based assessment are used only during in-clinic visits. Digital voice recorder is used during staff-guided in-clinic and remote visits.
The wristband continuously collects data from an embedded accelerometer after study staff links the device to a study-based smartphone. Then, the collected data is uploaded manually to an Amazon Web Services (AWS) backend when the technology is returned to the study site.
Continuous smartphone and computer tracking entails the capture of typing speed and usage data whenever a participant uses their personal device.
