A wearable system for long-term ubiquitous monitoring of common motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease
Abstract:
PERFORM is a system for the monitoring, assessment and management of patient with Parkinson's disease (PD). It comprises of three subsystems: (i) Multi-Sensor Monitoring Unit, (ii) the Local Base Unit, and (iii) the Centralized Hospital unit. The wearable, multi-sensor monitoring unit (WMSMU) of the PERFORM system is presented in this work. This unit plays an essential role in the overall PERFORM system since it is responsible to record and pre-process accelerometer and gyroscope signals that are later used by the various components of the Local Base Unit in order to classify and quantify the symptoms and motor status of the PD patients. The WMSMU was evaluated in a large set of pilot studies in PD patients. © 2014 IEEE.
