PARIS – European researchers said they are developing a wearable monitoring system that automatically regulates the delivery of medication to Parkinson's patients.
The EU-funded REMPARK (Personal Health Device for the Remote and Autonomous Management of Parkinson’s Disease) project aims to develop a Personal Health System, featuring closed loop detection, with response and treatment capabilities, for the improved management of Parkinson’s disease patients.
The REMPARK system is composed of two elements. The first element is a bracelet equipped with a sensor for measuring tremor in patients, and an inertial system worn at the waist on a belt made of biocompatible material. The second part, the size of a mobile phone, is equipped with sensors and can process and wirelessly transmit the data collected.
