Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Background The past decade has witnessed a highly dynamic and growing expansion of novel methods aimed at improving the assessment of Parkinson's disease with technology (NAM‐PD) in laboratory, clinical, and home environments. However, the current state of NAM‐PD regarding their maturity, feasibility, and usefulness in assessing the main PD features has not been systematically evaluated. Methods A systematic review of articles published in the field from 2005 to 2015 was performed. Of 9,503 publications identified in PubMed and the Web of Science, 848 full papers were evaluated, and 588 original articles were assessed to evaluate the technological, demographic, clinimetric, and technology transfer readiness parameters of NAM‐PD. Results Of the studies, 65% included fewer than 30 patients,
