Continuous home monitoring of Parkinson's disease using inertial sensors: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder of the central nervous system that deteriorates motor functions, while it is also accompanied by a large diversity of non-motor symptoms such as cognitive impairment and mood changes, hallucinations, and sleep disturbance. Parkinsonism is evaluated during clinical examinations and appropriate medical treatments are directed towards alleviating symptoms. Tri-axial accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers could be adopted to support clinicians in the decision-making process by objectively quantifying the patient's condition. In this context, at-home data collections aim to capture motor function during daily living and unobstructedly assess the patients' status and the disease's symptoms for prolonged time periods.
