Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disorder, affecting over 8.5 million people worldwide, with symptoms that severely impact patients' quality of life. While treatments like levodopa and deep brain stimulation help manage symptoms, they require frequent adjustments have limitations. Wearable devices offer real-time monitoring motor non-motor enabling personalized treatment, but challenges related to comfort, usability, patient adherence hinder their widespread adoption. Many individuals PD experience discomfort, emotional distress, or interface difficulties, reducing long-term adherence. This study synthesizes qualitative research on experiences wearables identify key usability barriers improve device design for better clinical integration.
