Abstract

BACKGROUND Wearable sensors can be used to monitor motor symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease. The Parkinson’s KinetiGraph (PKG) and STAT-ON are two promising single-sensors. No previous studies have been made comparing these two, neither in terms of agreement nor in terms of usability. AIMS Compare agreement between PKG, STAT-ON, a resident physicians’ assessment, and patients’ medical records. Describe usability from the patients’ view. METHOD Ten patients recruited from Sahlgrenska University Hospital wore two sensor systems (PKG and STAT-ON) and reports were assessed for typical categories of motor symptoms. A resident physician categorized the patients in the same way after taking the patients’ history of motor symptoms and fluctuations. Ag...
