Neurologists and researchers are increasingly harnessing the power of wearables to gather real-time, high-quality data about patients’ neurological conditions. From smartwatches that monitor vital signs and sleep patterns to EEG headbands that track brain activity, these wearables offer valuable insights that were previously laborious or inaccessible.

Wearable technology is enabling the convenient collection of data over long time periods, overcoming numerous limitations of in-hospital monitoring or conventional manual recording. These approaches are highly sensitive to subtle changes in a patient’s condition, beneficial for discovering novel pathophysiological insights and tracking progress over time. The large-scale data collected is also amenable to machine learning, allowing meaningful patterns to be detected in research cohorts and predictions to be given on an individual basis.

Discover how wearables are revolutionizing the way patients with Parkinson’s disease manage their symptoms, how MS research benefits from continuous monitoring of patients’ physical activity and vital signs, and how epilepsy patients gain better control over their condition. In this episode, discover the transformative impact of wearables in neurology—a revolution empowering patients and researchers alike. We are joined by leading neurology experts who will share their insights into the diverse applications of wearables in their respective fields, offering a glimpse into the future of neurology.
