Description
Summary:In this study we present the development of a portable system to measure tremors in the hands of Parkinson's patients. During development, samples were taken from 30 patients previously diagnosed, with Parkinson's disease and 10 healthy controls. The data was sent by Bluetooth to the Matlab platform for further analisys. The results obtained are frequencies between 4-8Hz of patients with Parkinson's disease and frequencies below 3Hz in healthy patients.
