The Parkinson’s KinetiGraph (PKG) is a wrist-worn movement recording system that collates continuous, objective, data during daily activities in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) providing a report for clinicians. This study explores the cost-effectiveness of adding the PKG to routine PD assessments.
Management of PD involves monitoring and evaluation of symptoms to assess disease progression and ensure appropriate treatment choices. Adding the PKG to clinical assessment in routine care allows for improved and objective identification of PD motor symptoms which can be used in clinical decision making to improve patient outcomes.
