Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Accurate evaluation of both motor and non-motor symptoms is essential for disease monitoring. Today, wearable devices enable continuous assessment of motor symptoms throughout the day, allowing both the objective evaluation of patients’ complaints and the monitoring of treatment responses. Through integrated accelerometers, gyroscopes, and specific algorithms, these devices provide objective information about motor symptoms. However, their use remains limited due to practical challenges, lack of sufficient validation studies, and accessibility issues. Therefore, with the expansion of validation and usability studies and the development of standardized protocols, the adoption of wearable technologies is expected to become more widespread.
