Plain-Language Summary

Aims to make Parkinson's easier to catch early and to follow over time by providing an accessible, tech-based way to measure motor signs and keep care continuous. It uses technology to record and analyze motor tasks like walking and other movements, turning those recordings into objective movement metrics that can flag subtle Parkinson's signs and show how symptoms change with medication. The trial seeks adults 50 to 80 years old, either healthy volunteers or people with Parkinson's at Hoehn and Yahr stages 1,3 who can walk without a cane and have an MMSE of 24 or higher. Parkinson's participants are examined while ON their usual medication and should not have dyskinesias or need walking aids.
