REMPARK project objective is to develop a personal health system with closed loop detection, response and action capabilities for the assessment and possible management of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. The project is developing a wearable monitoring system able to identify in real time the motor status of the PD patients and evaluating ON/OFF/Dyskinesia status with a very high sensitivity and...
The PERFORM project is funded under EC FP7 Program and aims to provide a platform for the remote health status monitoring, classification & modeling, and the personalisation treatment of patient suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The remote monitoring of neurodegenerative disease evolution is achieved via micro-sensors worn by the patients at home,...
We present a dynamic neural network (DNN) solution for detecting time-varying occurrences of tremor and dyskinesia at 1 s resolution from time series data acquired from surface electromyographic (sEMG) sensors and tri-axial accelerometers worn by patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The networks were trained and tested on separate datasets, each containing approximately equal proportions of tremor,...
Changes in turning are one of the early motor deficiencies in Parkinson's disease (PD). We have proposed a system based on wearable, inertial sensors and a novel automatic analysis algorithm that can assess 180deg turns. Twelve patients in early stages of PD and 14 age-matched healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Inertial sensors were attached on shanks and sternum. Measurement protocol included...
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative movement disorder resulting in rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness), tremor and gait disorder. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus has been shown to be effective in managing symptoms, but quantitative methods to facilitate the adjustment of the stimulator settings are needed. In this paper, we present preliminary results from a study aimed...
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat the debilitating symptoms of advanced Parkinson's disease (PD); characterized by tremor, slowness of movement (bradykinesia) and involuntary movement (dyskinesia). The selection of optimal stimulation parameters is based upon subjective and qualitative clinical observations made across several programming...
In this work we present a system for the monitoring and management of neurodegenerative diseases, such as the Parkinson's Disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The purpose of the system is to monitor patient's motor symptoms, and assist the clinician in the evaluation of both the current patient status and the disease progression. The system progresses one step further and suggests...
