Sismo-Neuro: Analysis of Body Movement in Neurological Diseases

This project focuses on the detailed analysis of body movement in the context of Neurological Diseases (ND), such as Parkinson's or Huntington's Disease, with the primary goal of improving patient quality of life through technological solutions. The problem addressed is the need for precise and accessible diagnostic and monitoring methods for motor symptoms like tremor and gait alteration. The proposed solution involves an exhaustive methodology divided into phases, starting with the state-of-the-art analysis of body movement and existing monitoring systems, such as those based on accelerometers and Body Sensor Networks (BSN). It will investigate the application of advanced technologies like Big Data for processing the large volumes of sensor-generated data, and Blockchain to ensure the decentralization, confidentiality, and integrity of patient information. The project culminates in the design and development of a low-cost, easy-to-use monitoring, stimulation, and rehabilitation system, including the design of a graphical interface and the rigorous validation of predictive and classification models derived from the processed signals.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To analyze body movement in patients with Neurological Diseases (ND) and propose innovative technological solutions, including the development of low-cost sensor systems, to facilitate emotional and motor recovery, thereby improving the quality of life for those affected.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Telemedicine
