    Koios Care Progress Update Our recent #Parkinson's #Disease #Quality of #Life trial involved an ambitious undertaking: to objectively and continuously measure quality of life and disease impact based on passive raw data from users' smartphones and smartwatches. Technical Challenges and Solutions: Developing this solution presented significant engineering challenges. We aimed to find the optimal balance between collecting clinically meaningful information and ensuring long-term user adherence for continuous monitoring. Here's how we addressed these challenges: A) Deployment for Naturalistic Behavior: We simulated real-world usage patterns by having participants use their own devices and various commercial smartwatches for passive actigraphy and physiological sensing. This required extensive engineering expertise (kudos to Konstantinos Kyritsis, Apostolos Moustaklis, Vasileios Papapanagiotou), testing across smartwatch vendors, continuous sensor verification, and adaptability to #Android operating system updates. B) Real-World Data Collection: We partnered with five clinical sites (kudos to Patricia Van Rompuy) for decentralized, rolling recruitment of participants, gathering data from real-world use. The attached heatmap visualizes the hours of wearable data contribution per person over time, allowing us to monitor vendor, user, and site behavior. C) Advanced Data Analysis: We are developing cutting-edge AI capabilities to passively sense Quality of Life changes in Parkinson's disease from wearable device data. Our Q-index approach is rooted in signal processing techniques (e.g., noise cancellation), focusing on the differential signal of change to reduce common-mode noise. This principle aims to provide objective insights into disease impact and enable personalized interventions by capturing real-world patient experiences. We're excited to see transferability of core Quality of Life monitoring concepts to other therapeutic areas so early in the process. Our research demonstrates the potential of wearable technology for capturing objective, real-world data that can drive a continuum of personalized healthcare solutions powered by passive-sensing and context-aware #AI.

    Exciting progress from our recent clinical study targeting passively Quality of Life measurement in Parkinson's Disease. We've been successfully validating a multimodal passive digital #biomarker to objectively track what truly matters for people with #Parkinson's - their quality of life. 🧠💪 🔔 Why is this a game-changer? Existing methods for measuring PD progression and treatment benefits rely on episodic assessments, making them prone to inaccuracies based on mood, medication timing, or even the time of day (how UPDRS II fluctuate over time within 100 days!). This makes it difficult to accurately understand how someone is really doing and how the disease impacts them, ultimately hindering both clinical development for upcoming disease modifying PD medications and how clinical care is practiced. 👨🔬 What have we seen through the data? We observed that >60% of the treated population could have less fluctuations based on their own treatment protocol, while >75% have significant self-reported fluctuations in their quality of life. How this can be better ? Leveraging the power of everyday #Android smartphones and smartwatches through the passive Koios Care data collection app we collect signals data and using AI we're transforming them to continuous, real-world passive digital biomarkers that are highly reliable and give picture of both motor and non-motor symptoms. 📈 The study insights are exciting as the Q-index, the digital composite score of HrQoL, can detect sustained and clinically meaningful changes in HrQoL from passive digital biomarkers. By leveraging explainable AI we can see which individual factors are impacting change for each patient Q-index and how it can capture significant changes. Stay tuned for the upcoming scientific publication and the announcements of the upcoming partnerships!

    #Parkinson disease entails so much more than just the easily discernible motor symptoms and includes “below the surface” a wide range of non-motor symptoms that are very debilitating, and also difficult to assess. In this new review paper, we discuss how modern digital technology can be used to obtain a more reliable and quantitative insight into the presence and severity of several of these non-motor symptoms. https://lnkd.in/ezw5c3JG Jules Janssen Daalen Anat Mirelman Soania Mathur Luc Evers Radboudumc ParkinsonNet Parkinson Vereniging ParkinsonNL

    Koios Care Empowers People with #Parkinson's using passive sensing & #AI on daily devices We're thrilled to announce the public rollout of our #self-empowerment #program designed for individuals with #Parkinson's, their families, and neurologists. The story of Louise: By using her own smartwatch and dowloaded our Google Playstore app, Louise, one of our program participants, gained a deeper understanding of her #Parkinson's in a daily fashion using the app and a report which allowed her to: - Improve communication with her #neurologist:  Louise was able to share her personalized report, leading to #adjustments in her #medication #schedule (Levodopa/Carbidopa and inhibitors). - Reduce symptoms by 1.7 hours /day: These improvements have been sustained for over 5 months, equating to approximately 250 hours of alleviated symptoms impacting daily activities. - Enhance well-being: Louise has experienced increased mobility, improved sleep quality, and a more positive mood. Impacting lives across borders: Louise's story is not unique. Over 20 people in Belgium and Greece are using Koios Care daily to gain actionable insights through their smartwatches and smartphones, and over 100 are currently in our clinical study providing clinical excellence #quality of #life insights. A heartfelt thank you: We extend our gratitude to the 100+ individuals with Parkinson's at AZ Delta CHU de Liège, OLV Ziekenhuis Aalst-Asse-Ninove, AZ Oostende, CHU de Charleroi - ISPPC, and the thousands who have contributed to Parkinson's research. #Parkinsons #TechBio #PatientEmpowerment #KoiosCare Reach out to learn more!

    Founder CEO Clouds of Care - Enabling better CNS Care

    Thank you #EAN2024 for being so inspiring again 🧠. It is absolutely clear that the community is embracing #holistic approaches to characterize disease & disease progression. 💡 With sleep characterzation as the umbrella in the continuum of monitoring neurodegeneration, we are conviced electrophysiology is making it possible to shift left towards better monitoring of disease modification & treatment effects. By enabling multimodal monitoring using wearables, passive sensing, vital parameters, ediaries & pros and imaging in later stages we are at the start of the tech enabled medicine, #techmed, revolution in CNS. Thank you prof Paul Boon for your great leadership cultivating this community & Prof. Reetta Kalviainen Prof. Margitta Seeck Prof. Sebastiaan Engelborghs Prof. Gaëtan Garraux, MD, PhD, An Tanghe Lars Costers and many more for the inspiring conversations.
