Evaluating the Utility of Wearable Sensors for the Early Diagnosis of Parkinson Disease: Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early diagnosis is crucial for ensuring that patients with Parkinson disease (PD) receive timely treatment, which can improve their quality of life and prolong lifespan. Wearable sensors have emerged as promising tools for early PD diagnosis, offering noninvasive, continuous symptom monitoring.

Objective

This review aimed to evaluate how wearable sensors have been applied in early diagnosis of PD over the past decade, focusing on sensor types, methods, findings, and limitations.

Methods

The systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Studies were sourced from PubMed, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, and Web of Science and screened based on predefined criteria. The inclusion criter
