The goal of this review is to come out with a summary of the recent progress of numerous forms of sensors and systems that are related to diagnosis of PD in the past decades. The paper reviews the substantial researches on the application of technological tools (objective techniques) in the PD field applying different types of sensors proposed by previous researchers. In addition, this also includes the use of clinical tools (subjective techniques) for PD assessments, for instance, patient self-reports, patient diaries and the international gold standard reference scale, Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Comparative studies and critical descriptions of these approaches have been highlighted in this paper, giving an insight on the current state of the art. It is followed by explaining the merits of the multiple sensor fusion platform compared to single sensor platform for better monitoring progression of PD, and ends with thoughts about the future direction towards the need of multimodal sensor integration platform for the assessment of PD.

Recent studies state the fact that Malaysia has been experiencing improved health, longer life expectancy, and low mortality as well as declining fertility like other developing countries. As the population grows older, the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases also increases exponentially. Parkinson disease (PD) is one of the most common chronic progressive neurodegenerative diseases that are related to movement disorders. After years of research and development solutions for detecting and assessing the symptoms severity in PD are quite limited. With current ongoing advance development sensor technology, development of various uni-modal approaches: technological tools to quantify PD symptom severity had drawn significance attention worldwide. The objective of this review is to compare some available technological tools for monitoring the seve...
