Why this matters: One-person at-home case report compares four-week adaptive and continuous DBS periods with neural sensing and daily digitography. Feasibility and individual patterns cannot establish population-level superiority.

Why this matters: Quantitative digitography measured tapping timing, amplitude and rhythm in 96 people with Parkinson’s and 42 controls. Instrumented measurements complement clinical ratings without replacing them.
