Abstract :
Parkinson´s disease is the most common degenerative movement disorder and a progressive nervous system disorder that affects body movement, memory, speaking and daily mental and physical activities. In Romania are over 75.000 Parkinson patients and the government spends over 1.5 million USD with them. Nowadays, there is no screening test for early detection of Parkinson´s disease. In this paper is presented a noninvasive low cost health care system for Neurological Disorders Screening and Rehabilitation that can be used by doctors and patients, and also for research purposes. The system can assist the doctors/medical experts in monitoring, screening and rehabilitation of patients with Parkinson´s disease or other Neurological Disorders, leading to an early and efficient diagnosis. From a technical point of view, the system uses the latest and most appropriate methods for medical signals acquisition and processing.
