About this Research Topic
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms that significantly impact patients' quality of life. With the global prevalence of PD rising due to aging populations, there is an urgent need for innovative approaches to improve its management. Traditional
methods of diagnosis and treatment are often limited by their reliance on subjective assessment and late-stage symptom recognition. However, advancements in
technology, including digital health tools, artificial intelligence (AI), wearable devices, and telemedicine, offer new opportunities to enhance the early detection, evaluation, and ongoing management of PD. These technological innovations have the potential to
revolutionize the standard of care, providing more personalized, precise, and accessible treatment options.
This Research Topic aims to explore and highlight the role of emerging technologies in advancing the management of PD across its continuum—from screening and evaluation to treatment and prevention. The goal is to bring together cutting-edge research that demonstrates how technology can address current gaps in
PD management, improve patient outcomes, and ultimately transform the approach to care for individuals living with Parkinson's disease. This collection of articles will provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technological innovations, focusing on their practical applications, challenges, and future directions in Parkinson's disease management.
The scope of this Research Topic encompasses a wide range of studies and reviews that address the integration of technology in PD management. We invite submissions that include, but are not limited to:
• Screening and Early Detection: Innovations in biomarkers, AI-driven diagnostics, wearable sensors, and mobile health applications for early and accurate detection of PD.
• Evaluation and Monitoring: Development and validation of digital tools for monitoring disease progression, symptom tracking, and patient-reported
outcomes in real-time.
• Therapeutic Interventions: Technology-driven approaches to treatment, including the use of AI in developing personalized medicine, robotics in
physical therapy, and telehealth platforms for remote patient management.
• Prevention Strategies: Exploration of how technology can contribute to the prevention of PD, focusing on risk assessment, lifestyle modification, and the potential of neuroprotective interventions.
• Ethical and Practical Considerations: Discussions on the ethical implications, data privacy concerns, and challenges in the widespread adoption of these technologies in clinical practice.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, systematic
reviews, meta-analyses, and perspectives that align with the scope of this Research Topic. Submissions should provide novel insights into the integration of technology in PD management and contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting technological advancements in this field. Authors are encouraged to focus on interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations that bridge the gap between technology development and clinical application. Manuscripts should adhere to the journal's guidelines regarding structure, length, and reference formatting. By contributing to this Research Topic, authors will play a crucial role in shaping the future of PD management, highlighting the potential of technology to improve patient care and outcomes globally.
