Parkinson’s disease can be difficult to monitor by clinicians. Depending on the type of Parkinson’s a patient has, the drug dosage and treatment can vary. Therefore it can be difficult for a clinician to understand the way medication is reacting with a patients body when they return home.
Global Kinetics created a watch to monitor patients movement, revealing reliable data to help adjust medication. However in order to retrieve the data from the watch, patients had to send the device via post. This proved difficult, especially for patients in rural areas.
Global Kinetics approached our engineers here at Procept to help them create an IoT integrated aspect. A “smart dock” where patients could charge their watch and send the data inside the watch to their doctor via the cloud.
