A Novel Accessible and Widespread Healthcare Service Model Based on Technology Innovation for Objective (Early) Diagnosis and Therapeutic Monitoring of Parkinson's Disease Promoting Continuity of Care
The present study aims to use the SensMode System - a system composed of wearable devices for upper and lower limb movement analysis and electronic device for data acquisition and processing - on healthy subjects, subjects with idiopathic hyposmia, patients with Parkinson's disease, and subjects with de-novo drug-naïve extrapyramidal syndrome. The purpose is to identify normative data of objective motor measures obtained with such a system, as well as to increase knowledge about the potential contribution such a solution can make to the preclinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and the management of patients with this disease.
• Healthy subjects - Inclusion Criteria:
‣ Adult subjects, both sexes, aged 50-80 years old
