The Apple Watch, and other cutting-edge smartwatches, have the ability to diagnose Parkinson's 7 years before symptoms first appear.
Finding diseases before symptoms appear is the goal of the healthcare system. Well, it is at least one of the goals. After all, if someone knows that they are going to get a certain disease, they might be able to mentally and physically prepare for it and possibly take medication to ward it off. According to the, there is a disease that a smartwatch like the Apple Watch, might be able to discover as many as seven years before symptoms first surface.
Using artificial intelligence, the U.K. Dementia Research Institute team at Cardiff University analyzed data from 103,712 smartwatch wearers. By tracking how fast each individual could move over the course of a single week between 2013 and 2016, the team was able to determine who was likely to develop Parkinson's Disease. Study leader Dr. Cynthia Sandor said that with 30% of those in the U.K.
Dr. Kathryn Peall, who also worked on the study, told the BBC that not only does the use of smartwatches accurately forecast who will get Parkinson's, but it also determines whether one's symptoms are coming from the disease, or from the frailty that is common to those who are old."The results from individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease were distinct," Dr. Peall said.
