  • Time-Of-Day Activity Levels Linked To Amyloid Deposits In The Brain

    Diagnostics World | A wearable device measuring movement at the wrist can detect clear differences in people who do and don’t have beta-amyloid deposition in their brain. The discovery was enabled by a relatively new statistical technique revealing time-of-day changes in activity levels not captured by standard methods focused on average levels of activity across the day.
