Parkinson is a health condition in which brain behaves abnormally which leads to difficulty in movement and coordination. Parkinson affects the central nervous system so the patients may feel stiffness and loss balance in movement.

It is very important to monitor the Parkinson patients on real time. With IoT devices, regular monitoring of Parkinson’s patients is possible. Patients may suddenly face lack of movement which is very common in Parkinson disease called Freezing of Gait (FOG). This FOG stage can be detected by means of IoT devices and alerts can be given to doctors and patients. Even early detection of symptoms of this disease is also possible by the use of IoT devices.

In future, such devices will help the Parkinson’s patients to lead a better life without risking their lives.
