Prevalence of neurocognitive diseases in adult patients demands the use of wearable devices to transform the future of mental health. Recent development in wearable technology proclaimed its use in diagnosis, rehabilitation, assessment, and monitoring. This systematic review presents the state of the art of wearables used by Parkinson's disease (PD) patients or the patients who are going through a neurocognitive disorder. This article is based on PRISMA guidelines, and the literature is searched between January 2009 to January 2020 analyzing four databases: PubMed, IEEE Xplorer, Elsevier, and ISI Web of Science. For further validity of articles, a new PEDro-inspired technique is implemented. In PEDro, five statistical indicators were set to classify relevant articles and later the citations were also considered to make strong assessment of relevant articles. This led to 46 articles that met inclusion criteria. Based on them, this systematic review examines different types of wearable devices, essential in improving early diagnose and monitoring, emphasizing their role in improving the quality of life, differentiating the various fitness and gait wearable-based exercises and their impact on the regression of disease and on the motor diagnosis tests and finally addressing the available wearable insoles and their role in rehabilitation. The research findings proved that sensor based wearable devices, and specially instrumented insoles, help not only in monitoring and diagnosis but also in tracking numerous exercises and their positive impact towards the improvement of quality of life among different Parkinson and neurocognitive patients.
成人神经认知疾病的高发率要求使用可穿戴设备来改变精神健康的未来。可穿戴技术的最新发展宣称其可用于诊断、康复、评估和监测。本文通过 PRISMA 指南，检索了 2009 年 1 月至 2020 年 1 月期间的文献，分析了四个数据库：PubMed、IEEE Xplorer、Elsevier 和 ISI Web of Science。为了进一步验证文章的有效性，还实施了一种新的 PEDro 启发式技术。在 PEDro 中，设置了五个统计指标来对相关文章进行分类，然后还考虑了引用次数，以对相关文章进行强有力的评估。这导致了 46 篇符合纳入标准的文章。基于这些文章，本系统评价检查了不同类型的可穿戴设备，这些设备对于改善早期诊断和监测至关重要，强调了它们在提高生活质量方面的作用，区分了各种基于健身和步态的可穿戴式练习及其对疾病缓解的影响，以及对运动诊断测试的影响，最后探讨了现有的可穿戴鞋垫及其在康复中的作用。研究结果表明，基于传感器的可穿戴设备，特别是仪器化鞋垫，不仅有助于监测和诊断，还有助于跟踪大量练习及其对不同帕金森氏症和神经认知症患者生活质量改善的积极影响。
