INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically assessed during short clinical visits using rating scales such as the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). These assessments provide only a snapshot of symptom severity and may not capture fluctuations in daily life. In this study, we examined whether wrist-worn actigraphy can be used to estimate MDS-UPDRS scores in people with Parkinson's disease (PwP).
METHODS: Continuous accelerometer recordings at 25 Hz were collected over up to 28 days using GeneActiv devices. From these recordings, three feature representations were derived: non-embedding actigraphy features, self-supervised accelerometer embeddings, and a combined feature set. A small set of regression models was evaluated using strict leave-one-participant-out cross-validation (LOPO-CV).
RESULTS: Estimation performance varied across targets and feature sets. The strongest result was observed for MDS-UPDRS Part IV, where non-embedding features with Elastic Net achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.6 and a correlation of 0.83 between estimated and actual values. The combined feature set performed best for Part I (MAE = 3.0, r = 0.60), Part III (MAE = 8.2, r = 0.47), and the total MDS-UPDRS score (MAE = 13.3, r = 0.49), whereas non-embedding features performed best for Part II (MAE = 2.7, r = 0.61). Embedding-only models were competitive for some outcomes, but were not the best overall.
DISCUSSION: Overall, the results show that month-long wrist-worn actigraphy contains information related to PD severity in daily life, although estimation accuracy remains limited and depends on the MDS-UPDRS target. Wearable-derived measures may therefore provide complementary information to clinical assessments, particularly for motor complications.
