![]() Participants spent 1183.4 ± 340.9 minutes (19.7 hours) in sedentary activity, 81.8 ± 62.2 minutes in light activity, and 8.4 ± 22.2 minutes in moderate activity. Average steps per day were 3497.5 ± 2637.5 across the sample. Results: Preliminary results indicate participants (n=15) successfully synced their wearable device to the remote platform 92% of the time. Final analyses will include generalized linear mixed effects models to examine the potential moderating role of apathy, risk-taking behavior, and social isolation/loneliness on physical activity levels. Preliminary feasibility metrics and physical activity data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Participants synced their activity data to the remote WTH monitoring platform and completed assessments that quantified apathy, risk-taking, social isolation, and loneliness. Method: Veterans with PD, at a Hoehn and Yahr Stage ≤ 3, were issued a wearable device, worn at the hip, to passively monitor their physical activity over a 2-week period. The Way to Health (WTH) platform offers remote monitoring that captures and stores activity data from wearable devices using a smartphone application. The evolution of scalable technology platforms and wearable devices affords novel opportunities to monitor daily physical activity over time. Personal, socioeconomic, and environmental limitations can limit both physical activity and remote monitoring interventions in the community setting. ![]() Objective: To determine the feasibility of a remote physical activity monitoring program for Veterans with Parkinson’s disease (PD).īackground: Regular physical activity improves overall health, mitigates motor symptoms of PD and has been speculated to influence disease progression.
