Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that presents motor (tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and instability) and non-motor dysfunctions. In this study we present a methodology to monitor the evolution of motor symptoms of Parkinson disease patients remotely, and its application to asses the effects of an experimental therapeutic intervention based on acoustic stimulation in a two months’ study. Monitoring is based on wearing a commercial smartwatch while performing a set of exercises extracted from the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale. Three indicators are extracted from the triaxial accelerometer’s signals to monitor tremor and bradykinesia. Results of the evolution of these indicators over a 2 months’ study are shown for two PD patients following a therapeutic intervention based on acoustic stimulation and a healthy control group of similar age and gender. The feasibility of using consumer smartwatches for remote monitoring of motor symptom’s is discussed together with its limitations, specially regarding long-term assessment of acoustic stimulation interventions.
