Our Parkinson's Place: WEARABLE SENSORS FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE

I HAVE PARKINSON'S DISEASES AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE THE CONTENTS OF UPDATED NEWS IS FOUND IN ONE PLACE. THAT IS WHY I BEGAN THIS BLOG.

I COPY NEWS ARTICLES PERTAINING TO RESEARCH, NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE, DEMENTIA, THE BRAIN, DEPRESSION AND PARKINSON'S WITH DYSTONIA. I ALSO POST ABOUT FUNDRAISING FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND EVENTS. I TRY TO BE UP-TO-DATE AS POSSIBLE.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT'S CONTENTS. I AM JUST A COPIER OF INFORMATION SEARCHED ON THE COMPUTER. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE COPIES ARE JUST THAT, COPIES AND AT TIMES, I AM UNABLE TO ENLARGE THE WORDING OR KEEP IT UNIFORMED AS I WISH. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND I AM A PERSON WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. I HAVE NO MEDICAL EDUCATION,

WEARABLE SENSORS FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE

A study was launched earlier this year to evaluate three wearable devices for tracking measurable features of Parkinson’s Disease such as slowness and frequency of movement.

People with Parkinson's Disease wore the devices during two clinic visits and at home over a few days.

Intel engineers are comparing the data obtained from the devices

to clinical observations and patient diaries in order to test the

devices’ accuracy. They are developing mathematical formulas

to measure the symptoms and the progression of Parkinson's

Disease. These devices can capture up to 300 observations per

second. So formulas to interpret all that data and report what it

means related to someone’s Parkinson’s Disease can help

individuals and their physicians monitor disease.

The next phase of the MJFF-Intel study will capture data to measure medication response such as on/off episodes. Recruitment is expected to begin soon in locations including New York City, Boston and Tel Aviv, Israel. The Michael J.Fox Foundation plans to expand their use to other clinical studies.
