Enhancing Parkinsons Disease Diagnosis with Wearable Technology and Task-Based Tremor Quantification

Samantha O'Sullivan (She/her) (Student, The Technological University of the Shannon)
In this presentation, we will explore the application of wearable sensors in the context of Parkinson's Disease, with a specific focus on their utility in quantifying task-based tremors. The adoption of this technology has the potential to revolutionize the monitoring and treatment of Parkinson's Disease, enabling more efficient and effective management of the condition. By reducing the frequency of hospital visits, we can contribute to lowering carbon emissions and fostering social sustainability and equity. Ultimately, promoting well-being and enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by Parkinson's Disease.
