Recent advances in smart glasses, wearable computers in the form of glasses, bring new therapeutic and monitoring possibilities for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). For example, it can provide visual and auditory cues during activities of daily living that have long been used to improve gait disturbances. Furthermore, smart glasses can personalize therapies based on the state of the user and/or the user environment in real-time using object recognition and motion tracking. To provide guidelines for developers in creating new PD applications for smart glasses, a self-reported questionnaire was designed to survey the requirements, constraints, and attitudes of people with PD with respect to this new technology. The survey was advertised online over an 11 month period on the website of the Parkinson Vereninging. The results were derived from 62 participants (54.8% men and 45.2% women, average age of 65.7 ± 9.1), representing a response rate of 79.5% . The participants were overall very enthusiastic about smart glasses as an assistive technology to facilitate daily living activities, especially its potential to self-manage motor problems and provide navigational guidance, thereby restoring their confidence and independence. The reported level of usage of mobile technologies like tablets and smartphones suggests that smart glasses could be adopted relatively easily, especially by younger people with PD. However, the respondents were concerned about the cost, appearance, efficacy, and potential side effects of smart glasses. To accommodate a wide range of symptoms, personal preferences, and comfort level with technology, smart glasses should be designed to allow simple operation and personalization.
智能眼镜的最新进展,以眼镜形式呈现的可穿戴电脑,为帕金森病(PD)患者带来了新的治疗和监测可能性。例如,它可以在日常生活活动中提供视觉和听觉提示,这些提示长期以来一直被用于改善步态障碍。此外,智能眼镜可以使用对象识别和运动跟踪实时根据用户的状态和/或用户环境对治疗方案进行个性化,以提供针对智能眼镜的新 PD 应用程序的开发人员的指导方针。为了调查 PD 患者对这项新技术的要求、限制和态度,设计了一份自我报告的调查问卷。该调查在帕金森协会的网站上进行了为期 11 个月的在线广告宣传。结果来自 62 名参与者(54.8%男性和 45.2%女性,平均年龄 65.7 ± 9.1),响应率为 79.5%。参与者总体上对智能眼镜作为辅助技术来促进日常生活活动非常感兴趣,特别是它有潜力自我管理运动问题并提供导航指导,从而恢复他们的信心和独立性。报告的移动技术(如平板电脑和智能手机)的使用水平表明,智能眼镜可以相对容易地采用,尤其是对年轻的 PD 患者。然而,受访者担心智能眼镜的成本、外观、疗效和潜在的副作用。为了适应广泛的症状、个人喜好和对技术的舒适程度,智能眼镜应设计为允许简单操作和个性化。
