Diagnostics World | A wearable device measuring movement at the wrist can detect clear differences in people who do and don’t have beta-amyloid deposition in their brain. The discovery was enabled by a relatively new statistical technique revealing time-of-day changes in activity levels not captured by standard methods focused on average levels of activity across the day.

Diagnostics World | Study sponsors making choices about if, when, and how to include brain monitoring in their clinical studies do not often ground those choices in science or optimize for subject safety and trial de-risking. The key problem is a lack of electroencephalogram (EEG) expertise with no guidance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to mitigate the situation.
