Smart glove to monitor parkinson’s patients

Abstract

The smart glove to monitor the Parkinson’s patients is an efficient system to monitor the tremors and harshness levels of that patient. Parkinson disease (PD) patients hurt from a resting tremor, severity, body kinesia, gait difficulty and postural instability. Common method of evaluating the symptoms however, confide thickly on patient self-accessing, which frequently fall to contribute the essential details. Wearable accelerometer is a major tool which can identify and justly define the movement anomalies in patient’s atmosphere as well as in the clinical setting. This model is unified into a smart glove where these accelerometers are embedded to record the movements and tremors to estimate the cardinal motor symptoms of PD (tremor and rigidity of hand and arm). The gloves are related to smart phones, which proceeds the information and transfer it to the neurologists in their offices. Moreover, the system helps the doctors to control the treatment plan of the patient every day, assuring that medication is working perfectly and eradicating the obligation for patients to make stressful clinical visits regularly.
