A low-cost telerehabilitation and telemonitoring system for people with Parkinson's disease: the architecture

Abstract

This article presents the architecture of a telerehabilitation and telemonitoring system for people with Parkinson's disease. The main advantages of the system are the use of low- cost and widespread consumer technology devices. A pilot study on 5 patients allowed a first assessment of the technical reliability, usability, and acceptability of the system, helping the technical and clinical staff to improve the system.
