  2. 1. Automating levodopa dosing schedules for Parkinson’s disease

    Author : Ilias Thomas; Jerker Westin; Moudud Alam; Björn Eskofier; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; levodopa; symptom assessment; symptom management; dosing algorithms; wearable sensors; microtablets; continuous infusion; FLOAT - Flexible Levodopa Optimizing Assistive Technology; FLOAT - Flexibel levodopa-optimerings och individanpassningsteknik;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Levodopa is mainly used to manage the motor symptoms of PD. However, disease progression and long-term use of levodopa cause reduced medication efficacy and side effects. When that happens, precise individualized dosing schedules are required. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimizing levodopa dosing routines for Parkinson’s disease
