A Study of Wearable Device in Essential Tremor Patients
Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
Summary
The purpose of this research is to observe the daily loss of benefit from DBS therapy by performing a standardized set of tasks throughout the day while wearing an Apple Watch to collect movement and other physiological data.

Interventions
Apple Watch
The smartwatch will collect data including accelerometry, heart rate, activity, move time, exercise time, stand time, steps, walking and running distance, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, six-minute walk, and flights climbed. During sleep, the smartwatch will collect daily nighttime physiologic data such as time in bed, average sleep time, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset, nocturnal heart rate, and nocturnal respiratory rate.
BrainRISE app
The app will play a prerecorded video, which will walk participants through tasks which include holding your arms in different postures, repeating different vowel sounds and phrases as prompted, and tracing different patterns on the phone screen. The tasks are video and audio recorded while being completed. Completing the tremor assessment tasks will take about 10 minutes.
