ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Accurate assessment of symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) is essential for optimal treatment decisions. During the past few years, different monitoring modalities have started to be used in the everyday clinical practice, mainly for the evaluation of motor symptoms. However, monitoring technologies for PD have not yet gained wide acceptance among physicians, patients, and caregivers. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the patients' access to healthcare, bringing to the forefront the need for wearable sensors, which provide effective remote symptoms' evaluation and follow-up. CASE REPORT We report two cases with PD, whose symptoms were monitored with a new wearable CE-marked system (PDMonitor®), enabling appropriate treatment modifications.

CONCLUSION:

Objective assessment of the patient's motor symptoms in his daily home environment is essential for an accurate monitoring in PD and enhances treatment decisions.
