Assessing the clinical utility of inertial sensors for home monitoring in Parkinson's disease: a comprehensive review.

This review screened 296 articles on wearable sensors for home monitoring of people with Parkinson's Disease within the PubMed Database, from January 2017 to May 2023. A three-level maturity framework was applied for classifying the aims of 59 studies included: demonstrating technical efficacy, diagnostic sensitivity, or clinical utility. As secondary analysis, user experience (usability and patient adherence) was evaluated.

Luxembourg Parkinson's study -comprehensive baseline analysis of Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism.

Background: Deep phenotyping of Parkinson's disease (PD) is essential to investigate this fastest-growing neurodegenerative disorder. Since 2015, over 800 individuals with PD and atypical parkinsonism along with more than 800 control subjects have been recruited in the frame of the observational, monocentric, nation-wide, longitudinal-prospective Luxembourg Parkinson's study.

Objective: To profile the baseline dataset and to explore risk factors, comorbidities and clinical profiles associated with PD, atypical parkinsonism and controls.
