Original abstract
This review outlines the recent advances in the use of digital health technologies (DHTs) for remote symptom monitoring and home-based management of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the adoption of telemedicine, wearable sensors for daily activity tracking, artificial intelligence-driven analysis, and digital rehabilitation have accelerated the shift toward more personalized and efficient care. These digital approaches offer objective, continuous, and scalable assessment methods that complement the traditional face-to-face evaluations. Notably, they provide valuable tools for addressing fluctuations in symptoms and supporting patient self-management. Their integration with conventional care models is progressing, and pilot implementations have attained promising results in reducing patient burden, improving accessibility, and enhancing quality of life. Furthermore, evidence from large-scale remote trials and real-world observational studies further supports the clinical utility of these technologies. As healthcare systems worldwide adapt to aging populations and the increasing demand for chronic disease management, DHT-based approaches are expected to play an increasingly central role in PD care. This session highlights the key findings from recent initiatives, including our own clinical experiences with hybrid platforms that combine wearable devices, telemedicine, and patient-reported outcomes.
