BackgroundThe automatic detection of activities of daily living (ADL) is necessary to improve long-term home-based monitoring of Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms. While most body-worn sensor algorithms for ADL detection were developed using laboratory research systems covering full-body kinematics, it is now crucial to achieve ADL detection using a single body-worn sensor that remains commercially available and affordable for ecological use.Aimto detect and segment Walking, Turning, Sitting-down, and Standing-up activities of patients with PD using a Smartwatch positioned at the ankle.MethodTwenty-two patients living with PD performed a Timed Up and Go (TUG) task three times before engaging in cleaning ADL in a simulated free-living environment during a 3 min trial. Accelerations and angular velocities of the right or left ankle were recorded in three dimensions using a Smartwatch. The TUG task was used to develop detection algorithms for Walking, Turning, Sitting-down, and Standing-up, while the 3 min trial in the free-living environment was used to test and validate these algorithms. Sensitivity, specificity, and F-scores were calculated based on a manual segmentation of ADL.ResultsSensitivity, specificity, and F-scores were 96.5%, 94.7%, and 96.0% for Walking; 90.0%, 93.6%, and 91.7% for Turning; 57.5%, 70.5%, and 52.3% for Sitting-down; and 57.5%, 72.9%, and 54.1% for Standing-up. The median of time difference between the manual and automatic segmentation was 1.31 s for Walking, 0.71 s for Turning, 2.75 s for Sitting-down, and 2.35 s for Standing-up.ConclusionThe results of this study demonstrate that segmenting ADL to characterize the mobility of people with PD based on a single Smartwatch can be comparable to manual segmentation while requiring significantly less time. While Walking and Turning were well detected, Sitting-down and Standing-up will require further investigation to develop better algorithms. Nonetheless, these achievements increase the odds of success in implementing wearable technologies for PD monitoring in ecological environments.
