Application of Wearable Sensors in Parkinson’s Disease: Future Prospective

(1) Background: Wearable sensors have emerged as a promising technology in the management of Parkinson's Disease (PD). These sensors can provide continuous and real-time monitoring of various motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, allowing for early detection and intervention. In this abstract, i review current research on the application of wearable sensors in PD, focusing on gait, tremor, bradykinesia, and dyskinesia monitoring. (2) Methods: This is a literature research spanning the 2000-2024 period including the following keywords: “wearable sensors”; “Parkinson’s Disease”; “Inertial sensors” , accelerometers’’, ‘’gyroscopes’’, ‘’magnetometers” , “Smartphones” , “Smart homes”. (3) Results: Despite favorable outcomes from the early development of inertial sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers in smartphones, application of DB is still restricted because there are no standards, harmonization, or consensus for both clinical and analytical validation. As a result, several clinical trials have been created to compare the effectiveness of DB with conventional evaluation methods in order to track the course of the disease and enhance quality of life and results. (4) Conclusions: Wearable sensors hold great promise in the management of PD and are likely to play a significant role in future healthcare systems.
