First Portable System for Monitoring Patients with Parkinson's in Testing
From: Medical Design Technology - 02/24/2015

The Technical Research Centre for Dependency Care and Autonomous Living
(CETpD) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya has developed a
pioneering portable system for monitoring the motor status of Parkinson's
disease patients in real time. The system also determines the status of
patients while they are walking or during their daily activities and acts
when the person has gait problems such as slowing or freezing. This system is
being developed within the European project REMPARK (Personal Health Device
for the Remote and Autonomous Management of Parkinson's Disease), coordinated
by the CETpD. The project's aim is to improve the quality of life of patients
with Parkinson's disease.
