Sobre aquest llibre
Compared to other books on eHealth and Parkinson's disease, this book offers a unique perspective and solution to the challenges facing patients and healthcare providers. It combines state-of-the-art technology, such as wearable devices and deep learning algorithms, with clinical expertise to develop a personalized and efficient evaluation framework for Parkinson's disease patients.
This book provides a roadmap for the integration of cutting-edge technology into clinical practice, paving the way for more effective and patient-centered healthcare. To understand this book, readers should have a basic knowledge of eHealth, IoT, deep learning, and Parkinson's disease. However, the book provides clear explanations and examples to make the content accessible to a wider audience, including researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the intersection of technology and healthcare.
