Summary

Within this study we conduct long-term measurements on Parkinson patients using a three sensor IMU setup: one sensor is located at the wrist, one sensor at the belt/ in the pocket and one sensor is worn as a pendant. Before and after each long-term measurement phase (5 days within 6-8 weeks) we perform an UPDRS to identify changes in everyday life behaviour that correlate with UPDRS trends (especially part 3).

Interventions

DEVICE

Body Sensor Network

The "Integrated Posture and Activity NEtwork by Medit Aachen (IPANEMA)" Body Sensor Network (BSN) is a wireless sensor network with several sensor nodes. A sensor node consists of a base unit equipped with different sensor modalities: Acceleration sensor, Rotation rate sensor, Air pressure sensor, Photoplethysmography (PPG, optional), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR, optional) measurement. The sensor data is transmitted via a wireless 433/868 MHz ISM band radio link to the central radio node. From there, the data is transferred via a Bluetooth connection to a laptop or PC for processing. Three sensors are attached 1) to the wrist with a flexible Velcro strap, 2) hung around the neck on a specially designed collar and 3) worn loosely in the trouser pocket without further fixation or at the belt. The respective sensors are located in a closed, ergonomically shaped housing (size 70x40x20mm\^3, approx. 35g) and have no electrically conductive contact to the skin surface of the test person.
