Abstract Fatigue is prevalent in immune-mediated inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, yet its assessment relies largely on patient-reported outcomes, which capture perception but not fluctuations over time. Wearable sensors, like inertial measurement units (IMUs), offer a way to monitor daily activities evaluate functional capacity. This study investigates the relationship between sit-to-stand stand-to-sit transitions self-reported physical mental fatigue participants with...
The relationship between sleep (caregiver-reported and actigraphy-measured) other caregiver-reported behaviors in children adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was examined, including the use of machine learning to identify variables important predicting anxiety ASD.Caregivers ASD (n = 144) typically developing (TD) 41) participants reported on behaviors. wore an actigraphy device at nighttime during 8 or 10-week non-interventional study. Mean variability measures for week preceding...
Abstract Background Reduction or differences in facial expression are a core diagnostic feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet evidence regarding the extent this discrepancy is limited and inconsistent. Use automated detection technology enables accurate efficient tracking expressions that has potential to identify individual response differences. Methods Children adults with ASD ( N = 124) typically developing (TD, 41) were shown short clips “funny videos.” Using analysis software,...
Currently, no medications are approved to treat core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One barrier ASD medication development is the lack validated outcome measures able detect symptom change. Current interventions often evaluated using retrospective caregiver reports that describe general clinical presentation but require recall specific behaviors weeks after they occur, potentially reducing accuracy ratings.

Objective: The Janssen Autism Knowledge Engine (JAKE®) is a clinical research outcomes assessment system developed to more sensitively measure treatment and identify subpopulations in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here we describe JAKE present results from its digital phenotyping (My JAKE) biosensor (JAKE Sense) components. Methods: An observational, non-interventional, prospective study of children adults with ASD was conducted at nine sites the United States. Feedback on usability...
Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) consortium IDEA-FAST is developing novel digital measures of fatigue, sleep quality, and impact disturbances for neurodegenerative diseases immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. In 2022, the met with European Agency (EMA) to receive advice on its plans regulatory qualification measures. This viewpoint reviews perspective multiple provided by EMA.The EMA considered a cross-disease measure an interesting arguably feasible concept. Developers should...
Abstract Remote inflammation monitoring with digital health technologies (DHTs) would provide valuable information for both clinical research and care. Controlled perturbations of the immune system may reveal physiological signatures which could be used to develop a biomarker inflammatory state. In this study, molecular profiling was performed following an in vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge inflammation. Ten healthy volunteers received intravenous LPS were monitored 24 h using...
Wearables with photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors are being increasingly used in clinical research as a non-invasive, inexpensive method for remote monitoring of physiological health. Ensuring the accuracy and reliability PPG-derived measurements is critical, inaccuracies can impact findings decisions. This paper systematically compares heart rate (HR) variability (HRV) measures from PPG against an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor free-living settings. Two devices one device ECG sensor were...
Eye‐tracking studies have demonstrated that individuals with autism spectrum disorder sometimes show differences in attention and gaze patterns. This includes preference for certain nonsocial objects, heightened to detail, more difficulty shifting disengagement, which may be associated restricted repetitive behaviors. study utilized a visual exploration task replicates findings of reduced number objects explored increased fixation duration on high interest large sample ( n = 129, age 6–54...
For the patient community with neurodegenerative disorders (NDD) and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID), fatigue sleep disturbances stand out as two of most common disabling symptoms, which mightily impair patient's quality life. Traditional questionnaire-oriented approaches to reflect such symptoms suffer from recall bias poor sensitivity change. By virtue multiple sensing modalities at home, IDEA-FAST project aims identify novel digital endpoints disturbances, that are objective,...
Problems with fatigue and sleep are highly prevalent in patients chronic diseases often rated among the most disabling symptoms, impairing their activities of daily living health-related quality life (HRQoL). Currently, they evaluated primarily via Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs), which can suffer from recall biases have limited sensitivity to temporal variations. Objective measurements wearable sensors allow reliably quantify disease state, changes HRQoL, evaluate therapeutic outcomes....
Cells often respond to environmental stimuli by activating specific transcription factors. Upon exposure glucose limitation stress, it is known that yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells dephosphorylate the general stress response factor Msn2, leading its nuclear localization, which in turn activates expression of many genes. However, precise dynamics Msn2 nucleocytoplasmic translocations and whether they are inherited over multiple generations a stress-dependent manner not well understood....

Development needs to be supported by evidence reflecting meaningfulness patients. Objectives To assess scratching a concept interest associated with meaningful aspects patients AD (adults children); explore patient‐centred considerations novel COAs...
Abstract Background Many individuals with neurodegenerative (NDD) and immune-mediated inflammatory disorders (IMID) experience debilitating fatigue. Currently, assessments of fatigue rely on patient reported outcomes (PROs), which are subjective prone to recall biases. Wearable devices, however, provide objective reliable estimates gait, an essential component health, may present evidence This study explored the relationships between gait characteristics derived from inertial measurement...
