Monitoring Motor Fluctuations in Patients With Parkinson's Disease Using Wearable Sensors

Monitoring Motor Fluctuations in Patients With Parkinson's Disease Using Wearable Sensors

This paper presents the results of a pilot study to assess the feasibility of using accelerometer data to estimate the severity of symptoms and motor complications in patients with Parkinson's disease. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was implemented to estimate the severity of tremor,...
