The Australian company Global Kinetics has developed the Personal KinetiGraph, which includes a wearable smartwatch and a cloud-based system for continuous monitoring of Parkinson's disease symptoms to help improve patient management. KinetiGraph is 510(k)-cleared and CE marked, but the APPRISE multi-center trial will test the system’s ability to improve outcomes. The company hopes to convince US payers to cover it.
Global Kinetics Corporation is collaborating with The Parkinson's Foundation to run APPRISE, a US multi-center, 400-patient randomized clinical trial assessing GKC's Personal KinetiGraph(PKG) Parkinson's disease symptom monitoring system.
APPRISE is a sub-study of the foundation's Parkinson’s Outcomes Project Registry Study, an ongoing project involving 20 leading movement-disorder specialist centers that has enrolled more than 9,000 patients since it...

TRiCares presented data from the first-in-human study for its tricuspid valve replacement system – Topaz – at EuroPCR 2025 on 22 May.
A study from Babson Diagnostics published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine showed that capillary blood sample volume issues can overcome historical challenges, such as poor quality, through a technique called assay miniaturization.
The UK has issued clearer guidance to help drug and medical device sponsors demonstrate how they intend to include a diverse and relevant range of participants in their clinical trials.
