Abstract

Medication optimization is a common component of the treatment strategy in patients with Parkinson’s disease. As the disease progresses, it is essential to compensate for the movement deterioration in patients. Conventionally, examining motor deterioration and prescribing medication requires the patient’s onsite presence in hospitals or practices. Home-monitoring technologies can remotely deliver essential information to physicians and help them devise a treatment decision according to the patient’s need. Additionally, they help to observe the patient’s response to these changes. In this regard, we conducted a longitudinal study to collect gait data of patients with Parkinson’s disease while they received medication changes. Using logistic regression classifier, we could detect the annotated motor deterioration during medication optimization with an accuracy of 92%. Moreover, an in-depth examination of the best features illustrated a decline in gait speed and swing phase duration in the deterioration phases due to suboptimal medication.
