Clinical validation of a mobility monitor to measure and predict health outcomes

This study tests whether a small, wearable sensor worn around the waist can accurately track everyday walking. Researchers at Newcastle University are checking how well it measures mobility in people with Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, COPD, or a recent hip fracture, to help improve future NHS care.
