RAPIDO (teleRehabilitation for pAtient with ParkInson’s Disease at any mOment): preliminary results.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has revealed how fragile is the territorial care system dedicated to Parkinson's disease (PD). Thus, telemonitoring and telerehabilitation techniques are significant approaches for these people to improve their clinical health status. However, there needs to be more integration of the existing systems. In the RAPIDO (teleRehabilitation for pAtient with ParkInson’s Disease at any mOment) project, a remote monitoring system for physical exercises is proposed to enhance patients’ rehabilitation. At the same time, wearable devices collect health parameters throughout the day. These parameters are then stored on a remote server, facilitating subsequent analysis. The main objective of this study is to assess the acceptability and feasibility of an integrated telerehabilitation and telemonitoring system in patients with PD at any stage of the disease. Secondary objectives include evaluating the impact of the telerehabilitation and telemonitoring system on both motor and non-motor symptoms, the patient’s quality of life, and the caregiver's burden.
