Fascinating approach and a great use of technology - hopefully their study will prove to be useful both in terms of the results and the methodology.
You have to wonder if there's more than can be done in terms of both proactive and reactive monitoring of neurological conditions using wearables, especially considering the sophistication of recent devices. I've ME/CFS, and use my Apple Watch data as a crude guide for my energy consumption, but it was interesting to see that it flagged my VO₂ max levels, which are often low for ME/CFS and other conditions.
It's obviously very early days for such things, but hopefully the various manufacturers and healthcare providers will be able to navigate the harrowing levels of legislation involved.

This is really interesting, thank you
