Tele-diagnostics for Remote Parkinson's Monitoring
Tele-diagnostics for Remote Parkinson's Monitoring
The purpose of this research study is to design, implement, and clinically assess a portable,
 user worn system for monitoring Parkinson's disease (PD) motor symptoms. The current standard
 in evaluating symptoms is the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), a subjective,
 qualitative ranking system. The main goal of this research is to develop a quantitative
 system, Kinesia HomeView, to assess tremor as well as different features of bradykinesia in a
 home based system which can capture those symptom changes over the course of a day and aid in
 evaluating treatment protocol efficacy.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Inability to follow the required clinical instruction

 -  Subjects with cognitive impairments that would prohibit them from properly using the
 Kinesia HomeView system

 -  Subjects without the cognitive ability to respond to researchers and let them know
 when any parameters of the study may become uncomfortable

 -  Subjects found on examination by our clinicians to have any physical limitations which
 would be counter productive to participation in this study.
