SUMMARY:Women in Technology Series
DESCRIPTION:Professor Fernanda Irrera: A Smart Wearable Sensing System for the Detection of Motion Symptoms of the Parkinsons Disease\n\nThe utility of wearable sensors in the patient care, assistance and rehabilitation consists in new and still not fully explored opportunity offered by the generation of big amount of data which can be shared on Internet. Sensors can help monitor and mitigate the effects of disorders, customize the therapy and eventually activate feedback to patients and care-givers.\n\n\n\nThe health cost is dramatically increasing and remote home care emerges as a tornado in making to reduce health care cost. In the US, health cost reached $2.5 trillion in 2009, representing 18% of the GDP (EE Times 12/9/09). The market of wearable systems for healthcare today is approximately $12 billion. \n\n\n\nProfessor Irrera will talk about the latest technological advancements in the field of motion sensing for treatment of neurological patients affected by the Parkinson's Disease.\n\nhttps://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/seminars/abstract.php?id=930
