Abstract

This study examines the application of wearable mobile health (mHealth) technologies, specifically smartwatches equipped with inertial sensors, for the monitoring of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aim is to investigate how the integration of the Monipar tool, designed to monitor supervised exercises, with the BioCliTe system, which continuously collects data during free-living activities, can improve the assessment of motor fluctuations and disease progression. The study proposes a set of free-living activities which can serve as characteristic indicators for assessing motor symptoms. By combining structured exercises with everyday tasks, this approach provides a more comprehensive evaluation of PD, capturing motor symptoms in both controlled and real-world environments. The research seeks to advance disease monitoring and patient care through more accurate tracking and the development of personalized treatment strategies.
