MOVEMENT DISORDER MONITORING AND SYMPTOM QUANTIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a movement disorder monitor with high sensitivity, and a method of measuring severity of a subject's movement disorder. The present invention additionally relates to a drug delivery system for dosing a subject in response to increased severity of a subject's symptoms. The present invention provides a system and method, which can accurately and repeatably quantify symptoms of movements disorders, accurately quantifies symptoms utilizing both kinetic information and/or electromyography (EMG) data, that can be worn continuously to provide continuous information to be analyzed as needed by the clinician, that can provide analysis in real-time, that allows for home monitoring of symptoms in subjects with movement disorders to capture the complex fluctuation patterns of the disease over the course of days, weeks or months, that maximizes subject safety, and that provides substantially real-time remote access to data by the clinician or physician.
