Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with Huntington Disease or are at risk due to genetic testing.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have access to electronic devices or secure internet connectivity may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The LEAD-HD initiative aims to gather and analyze self-reported health data from individuals diagnosed with Huntington Disease (HD) or those in the prodromal stage over a 24-month period. Utilizing the myHDstory® online platform, participants can complete surveys at their convenience using their own electronic devices. This observational study focuses on understanding the natural history of HD through remote technologies, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of disease burden.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of Huntington Disease progression and improve patient care strategies.
How similar studies have gone: While similar observational studies have been conducted, this specific approach utilizing remote technologies for longitudinal assessment is relatively novel.
