HDTV System for Parkinson's Disease Diagnosis

Abstract

Health care is facing major challenges and information technologies play an important role in disease management. Cost issues raised by many medical problems that society has to face involve a superior approach to the diagnosis of the diseases that characterize the modern world. In this paper, we suggest the implementation of a high definition video system in the early management of Parkinson's disease. The High-Definition Television Video System (HDTV) is designed to record suspicious patients, on their inhabitancy, in order to detect tremor and analyze its evolution. Also, after testing HDTV system functionality, an alternative method is proposed for video sequences assessing in order to eliminate uncertainty and provide an adequate telediagnosis.
