[Digital Biomarkers in Neurology and Psychiatry]

The digital biomarkers that have emerged from advances in digital technologies are expected to transform diagnostics and monitoring in the fields of neurology and psychiatry. Applications are being explored in various contexts, such as motor assessments in neurodegenerative diseases and behavioral tracking in psychiatric disorders. Moreover, digital biomarkers have already been used as endpoints in clinical trials. Combining these objective digital measures with conventional clinical assessments is likely to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of patients.
