PERFORM
PERFORM follows on OCC's long involvement with assistive technology for Parkinson's disease. Click here to read more and watch our videos.
OCC has been recruited for a three year project led by Siemens which is building a wearable home-monitoring system for people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
OCC's engineers are responsible for developing, testing and integrating software to model patients' tremor so that the patients' symptoms are presented to doctors in terms they can readily interpret. We take raw output from neural networks classifying the movements of a patient as they go through their daily lives, and we build a clinical model of how the patient is performing raising alerts when critical clinical signs are detected.
With our relationships within the European network of Parkinson's disease organisations, OCC has also been employed to help disseminate the results of PERFORM, presenting the project at technical and medical conferences.
PERFORM is a three-year project co-funded by the European Commission. It consists of a consortium of academic institutions and businesses from the UK, Spain, Greece, Italy, Poland and Cyprus.
