Telemedicine Systems to Support Parkinson's Participatory Management

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s affecting mainly people over 60 years. Due to the population fast aging and forecast of a great increase in the number of PD patients this disease has been the focus of abundant attention from the scientific community. Telemedicine an area known for providing healthcare services at a distance has taken a great interest in PD. In this work the design and development of a multimedia platform intended to allow a better Parkinson''s remote home monitoring through an easy accessible highly usable and integrated system is presented. The proposed system provides diversified solutions to obtain more patient’s daily living and quality of life information.
