This way, doctors can manage the treatment plan of the patient day-to-day, ensuring that medication is working properly and eliminating the need for patients to make stressful clinical visits, researchers said. Kunal Mankodiya, director of University of Rhode Island's Wearable Biosensing Laboratory, said he is researching how to transform gloves, socks, clothing and even shoes into high-tech items that will make people healthier and improve their lives. "Patients with Parkinson's face many mobility issues - driving and even walking long distances," Mankodiya said.
