Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Wearable technology is revolutionizing healthcare, providing a more tailored approach to both disease diagnosis and management. Within neurological conditions, wearable technology can provide a cost-effective tool throughout the disease course, including diagnosis and rehabilitation.
The uptake in the use of wearable technology by both patients and clinicians will have a huge impact on the future of healthcare. Wearable technology will help improve diagnosis, provide cost-effective and non-invasive assessment tools, increase specificity for diagnosis, monitor disease progression, and inform ongoing disease management.
This Special Issue focuses on the use of wearable technology within neurological conditions. We encourage the submission of papers that focus on the use of wearable technology for diagnosis, disease management, and outcome measures within populations suffering from Parkinson’s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injury amongst others. We are also seeking submissions of manuscripts related to the keywords listed below.
