IRIS-A WEARABLE DEVICE FOR MONITORING MOVEMENT DISORDERS

Neurodegenerative diseases affect brain neurons by progressively losing structure or function, including death of neurons. To improve or sustain a patient’s quality of life, monitoring their condition and constantly adjusting their treatment based on their home state is crucial. At the moment, there is no objective measurement for monitoring neurodegenerative diseases and the decisions that are being made are biased. This project aims to realize a solution that monitors people with movement disorders and helps the doctors in the process of diagnosing and changing the medication of their patients. We created the IRIS application along with the IRIS wearable devices that analyze the data needed to diagnose and monitor people with movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s Disease. The parameters combined can help the doctors and patients in the process of diagnosing and monitoring movement disorders. The product is able to objectively assess a patient and to offer the data in a processed manner so that the doctor can prescribe new medication to control the symptoms of the patient. © 2023, Politechnica University of Bucharest.
