Review: The Application of Wearable Sensors on the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract

Due to the high speed development of wearable sensors technology, the approaches of health care have been revolutionized. Recently, more and more wearable sensors have been applied in the management of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This review concerns the use of wearable sensors on diagnosis and monitoring for PD patients. In this paper, we outline the current diagnosis situation of PD and existing problems and limitations, gather the information of concrete current applications and research status, review correlated data processing methods implicated, and conclude the limitations and challenges. Some strategies to overcome the limitations of wearable sensors application on PD patients are discussed.
