Fraunhofer AICOS is involved in the development of a personal health system that will be able to detect the activity and symptoms of people with Parkinson's Disease, and thus support disease management.
On a first level, the project will develop a portable monitoring device that can detect, in real-time, motor symptoms of the user, while evaluating On, Off and Dyskinesia states. On a second level, the intelligent treatment of data gathered by the monitoring system will allow the treating neurologist to have access to precise and reliable information based on which he or she may make better informed decisions about adequate treatments for the patient. The REMPARK system will be tested with 60 patients coming from four medical centres.
The project, named REMPARK, is carried under the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) and financed by the European Commission (REMPARK ICT-287677).

Num primeiro nível, o projecto irá desenvolver um sistema de monitorização portátil capaz de detectar, em tempo real, os sintomas motores da pessoa com Parkinson, ao mesmo tempo que avalia estados de On, Off e discinesias. Num segundo nível, o tratamento inteligente dos dados recebidos pelo sistema de monitorização permitirá ao neurologista o acesso a informação precisa e fidedigna para tomar decisões mais informadas sobre o tratamento mais adequado para a pessoa com Parkinson. O sistema será testado com 60 pacientes provenientes de quatro centros médicos.
