Wireless sensing system for long-time assistance in the Parkinson’s disease
A non-invasive wearable wireless sensing system for assisting patients affected by
Parkinson’s Disease is proposed. It uses inertial sensors to recognize gait states and involuntary gait
freezing. The system is designed for indoor and outdoor long-time monitoring and realizes an
individual electronic diary useful for doctors for estimating better the stage of the disease and
customizing the pharmacological therapy. Standard tests were performed on a noticeable number
