  • Wearable Devices for Movement Monitoring of Patients with Parkinson's Disease

    Quantitative assessment of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease is the key for precise diagnosis and treatment and essential for long term management over years. The challenges of quantitative assessment on Parkinson's disease are rich information, ultra-low load, long term and large range monitoring in free-moving condition. In this paper, we developed wearable devices with multiple sensors to monitor and quantify the movement symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Five wearable sensors were used to record motion signals from bilateral forearms, legs and waist. A local area network based on low power Wi-Fi technology was built for long distance wireless data transmission. A software was developed for signal recording and analyzing. The size of each sensor was 39 mm×33 mm×16 mm and the weight was 18g. The sensors were rechargeable and able to run 12 hours. The wireless transmission radius is about 45 m. The wearable devices were tested in patients and normal subjects. The devices were reliable and accurate for movement monitoring in hospital.
