Remote, internet-based deep brain stimulation programming for Parkinson’s disease accelerates clinical benefits postoperatively by improving access to therapy adjustments compared to in-clinic optimization. After completion of the initial digital programming phase, we show that clinical outcomes, quality of life, and safety remain sustained over at least twelve months under routine care conditions. Embedding a randomized trial within a larger cohort study enables long-term, real-world evaluation, offering a scalable and pragmatic model for assessing complex digital interventions in routine clinical care.
