Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s (NMS-Quest) 2. The comparability of data from games (i.e. finger tapping test) delivered through smartphones and tablets with those collected at clinics in previous studies Participants without Parkinson’s will not complete the NMS-30 or PDQ-8 questionnaires specific to Parkinson’s, but both groups will capture the same quality of life questionnaire data (EQ5D). | — |
