Dear Biomch-L readers:
Delsys Inc. (www.delsys.com) is pleased to announce an upcoming webinar taking place on October 10th, 11th and 12th. For full details and free registration, please visit http://www.delsys.com/event/autonomo...insons-disease. You'll find a brief synopsis of the webinar below.
An NIH-supported study translating technology into health
Monitoring gait with wearable sensors holds promise for improving medical assessment and treatment for millions of people affected by movement disorders like Parkinson’s Disease (PD). However, most sensor-based gait monitors fail to detect subtle yet clinically relevant abnormalities, such as reduced arm swing or shuffling of steps. National Institutes of Health (NIH) actively funds translational research efforts aimed at decreasing the burden of PD and other neurological diseases. With the funding from NIH, we have developed a novel approach consisting of advanced body-worn sensors and machine-learning algorithms to monitor, in real-time, the quality of gait movements in activities of daily living.
We look forward to presenting to all those registered in October!
Sincerely,
The Delsys Team
