Tele-diagnostics for Remote Parkinson's Monitoring

March 11, 2013 updated by: Great Lakes NeuroTechnologies Inc.
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.

Description

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.
