In this work infrared thermography has been applied to investigate the health status of patients with Parkinson’s Disease. 10 subjects have been monitored and IR images of their hands acquired. The first results highlight as thermography is able to identify trigger points and areas of hyper- and hypothermia distributed on the skin surface and muscle bundles. This could provide the extrapolation and classification of specific medical information for a continuous monitoring activity and an early diagnosis.

Abstract
In this work infrared thermography has been applied to investigate the health status of patients with Parkinson’s Disease. 10 subjects have been monitored and IR images of their hands acquired. The first results highlight as thermography is able to identify trigger points and areas of hyper- and hypothermia distributed on the skin surface and muscle bundles. This could provide the extrapolation and classification of specific medical information for a continuous monitoring activity and an early diagnosis.File in questo prodotto:
