Abstract:
Several movement disorders with a wide range of motor and non-motor symptoms have been identified in the medical field. Incorporating wearable sensors in rehabilitation and disease management applications has seen its fair share of growth over the past few decades, with a significant increase in monitoring movement disorders. In this recent period, it is quite evident how ingenious wrist devices, such as wristbands, smart bracelets, and smartwatches are growing increasingly popular among all age groups. The ease of use, inexpensiveness, and higher degree of acceptability in contrast to other categories of sensors employed to monitor health status offer reasons for this diffusion. This recent review of the literature intends to collect studies that exploit commercial smart wrist devices for one of the more well-known movement-related disorder considered to be prevalent among the world's population of all ages: seizure detection or epilepsy. Here, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta- Analyses (PRISMA) methodology was used to select and analyze 19 articles. For each article, information is given on the type of sensor used, any pipelines implemented, and classification results obtained. Almost all the studies were published within the last decade indicating an increasing interest in the scientific community for the considered topic.
