Digital Technologies Revolutionize Management of Movement Disorders

The landscape of diagnosing and treating chronic diseases has undergone significant changes in recent years, particularly in the management of neurological movement disorders. The health and fitness sector has responded by developing innovative devices to better classify, track, and potentially treat these diseases. The interpretation and handling of large datasets has been transformed by machine and deep learning approaches, leading to the development of new and more effective therapies and resulting in longer survival rates.

The Handbook of Digital Technologies in Movement Disorders aims to bring together these factors to provide a comprehensive guide to patient-focused treatments for movement disorders. This comprehensive guide is divided into five distinct sections, covering:

Digital Technologies and Movement Disorders: An Introduction

• Introducing digital technologies, concepts, and terminologies

Perspectives on Technology in Movement Disorders

• Reviews of various perspectives on technology in movement disorders, including those of patients and medical professionals

Detecting, Measuring, and Treating Movement Disorders

• Technologies used in detecting, measuring progression, and determining response to treatments

Treatment of Movement Disorders: Emerging Technologies

• Assistive and robotic technologies used in treating movement disorders

Challenges and Ethical Considerations

• Examining the challenges and ethical issues associated with implementing technology into treatment, including privacy concerns

This book provides valuable insights into the role of digital technologies in revolutionizing the management of movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease. With its comprehensive coverage of technological advancements, challenges, and ethical considerations, the Handbook of Digital Technologies in Movement Disorders is an essential resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients alike.
