Abstract :
Parkinson´s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological condition. It results from degeneration of dopamine producing neurons. This paper is on research partially funded by the European Commission (AAL programme and ICT FP7) where project consortia go towards the development of a personal health system with a closed loop of detection, response and treatment capabilities for patients with chronic diseases especially those with PD.
