Centro Médico Teknon is involved in the development of a personal health system that will be able to detect the activity and symptoms of people with Parkinson’s Disease, and thus support disease management.
On a first level, the project will develop a portable monitoring device that can detect, in real-time, motor symptoms of the user, while evaluating On, Off and Dyskinesia states. On a second level, the intelligent treatment of data gathered by the monitoring system will allow the treating neurologist to have access to precise and reliable information based on which he or she may make better informed decisions about adequate treatments for the patient. The REMPARK system will be tested with 60 patients coming from four medical centres.
The project, named REMPARK, is carried under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) and financed by the European Commission (REMPARK ICT-287677).
