Design and development of a mobile application to explore cognitive skills in parkinson’s disease patients

Abstract:

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases and its incidence is expected to growth in the next decades. Many efforts have been made in order to build a system for the remote monitoring and assessment of the motor symptoms in PD. Nevertheless, non-motor symptoms are usually not equally considered. This work is aimed at developing a mobile tool able to carry out a remote monitoring of different cognitive areas affected in the PD population and that could be integrated with the motor assessment of PD patients. This would allow not only a better monitoring of PD patients but also a better understanding of the disease progression.
