abstract = {Background: Digital biomarkers (DB), as captured using
sensors embedded in modern smart devices, are a promising
technology for home-based sign and symptom monitoring in
Parkinson disease (PD).Objective: Despite extensive
application in recent studies, test-retest reliability and
longitudinal stability of DB have not been well addressed in
this context. We utilized the large-scale m-Power data set
to establish the test-retest reliability and longitudinal
stability of gait, balance, voice, and tapping tasks in an
unsupervised and self-administered daily life setting in
patients with PD and healthy controls (HC).Methods:
Intraclass correlation coefficients were computed to
estimate the test-retest reliability of features that also
differentiate between patients with PD and healthy
volunteers. In addition, we tested for longitudinal
stability of DB measures in PD and HC, as well as for their
sensitivity to PD medication effects.Results: Among the
features differing between PD and HC, only a few tapping and
voice features had good to excellent test-retest
reliabilities and medium to large effect sizes. All other
features performed poorly in this respect. Only a few
features were sensitive to medication effects. The
longitudinal analyses revealed significant alterations over
time across a variety of features and in particular for the
tapping task.Conclusions: These results indicate the need
for further development of more standardized, sensitive, and
reliable DB for application in self-administered remote
studies in patients with PD. Motivational, learning, and
other confounders may cause variations in performance that
need to be considered in DB longitudinal applications.},
