   Abstract : With a demographic change towards an older population, the structure of the labor force is shifting, and people are expected to work longer within their extended life span. However, for many people, wellbeing has been compromised by work-related problems before they reach the retirement age. READ MORE

5. 3. Wearable sensors for monitoring epilepsy and Parkinson´s disease

   Author : Dongni Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epilepsy; Parkinson’s disease; Wearable sensors; Continuous and objective monitoring; End users’ perceptions; Qualitative content analysis; Machine learning algorithms; Tonic-clonic seizure detection; Dose titration; Motor state recognition;

   Abstract : Introduction: Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are conditions where management would benefit greatly from monitoring symptoms over longer time periods in natural everyday environments instead of only intermittent assessments at clinics. Wearable technology with built-in sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, could allow continuous and objective long-term monitoring of movement patterns. READ MORE
