Identifier
5U01FD008429-02
Award for a project to validate digital clinical endpoints in early Huntington's disease using wearable sensors, managed by University of Rochester and funded by NIH.
Description
This project aims to establish the validity and meaningfulness of digital measures of gait and chorea in early Huntington’s disease, using wearable sensors and digital health technologies. The study involves remote assessments of 40 individuals with early HD and 20 controls, with a focus on digital endpoints for clinical trials and treatment response. The project is funded by NIH grant RFA-FD-24-037 and is managed by the University of Rochester in NY.
