Brief Summary

dBM-dev study is a multicentre low-intervention research study which concerns REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) who is the best predictor for neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease (PD). RBD can only be confirmed by polysomnography, which is a cumbersome procedure. The main objective of this study is to identify a novel, robust dBM for the detection of RBD using smartwatch-based recordings of passive data.The study is conducted step-wise on two subsequent cohorts referred to as the development cohort and the confirmation cohort.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of nights in a confirmation cohort in which RBD episodes are indicated by a score (digital biomarker) derived from passive actigraphy and photoplethysmography data captured by a smartwatch

    the digital biomarker will be identified from passive actigraphy and photoplethysmography data of a separate development cohort

    4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • correlation between a) and b)

    4 weeks for a) 3 months for b)

  • Number of camera-based movement assessments acquired by each participant relative to the number of scheduled camera-based movement assessments.

    4 weeks (for development cohort) and 3 months (for confirmation cohort)

  • Number of cognitive tasks completed by each participant relative to the number of scheduled cognitive tasks.

    4 weeks (for development cohort) and 3 months (for confirmation cohort)

Study Arms (3)

Development cohort of patients with known RBD

Detection of RBD signs by using the connected smartwach during 4 weeks

Device: connected smartwatch

Development cohort of matched controls = people who don't have RBD age and sex matched

Detection of RBD signs by using the connected smartwach during 4 weeks

Device: connected smartwatch

Confirmation cohort of parkinson disease patients = people who are supposed to have RBD

Detection of RBD signs by using the connected smartwach during 3 months

Device: connected smartwatch

Interventions

The smartwatch is worn by the patient and data are sent automatically to a server that detects if there are signs of RBD.

Confirmation cohort of parkinson disease patients = people who are supposed to have RBDDevelopment cohort of matched controls = people who don't have RBD age and sex matchedDevelopment cohort of patients with known RBD
