mHealth platform for Parkinson’s disease management

Abstract:

Parkinson’s is a complicated, chronic disease that most people live with for many years/decades. For this reason, a multidisciplinary disease management, involving several professions working together (neurologists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, dieticians), is important to ensure that the patient retains his/her independence and continues to enjoy the best quality of life possible. To address these needs we describe an mhealth ecosystem for Parkinson’s disease (PD) management facilitating the collaboration of experts and empowering the patients to self-manage their condition.
