Abstract
Assessing symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients can be very difficult as clinicians must make subjective evaluations based on tests that patients complete, such as opening/closing the hand, pinching fingers together, and toe tapping. However, often what the clinician sees is not consistent with what the patient experiences. We have worked to develop technology using commercial sensors to aid both patients and clinicians in the clinical setting in order to improve patient engagement in their own treatment and increase communication between patient and clinician.
