The study sites were chosen for their role in the AICCELERATE project [28], a large European Union (EU)-funded collaboration aimed at advancing AI healthcare solutions. One of the use cases within this consortium is an AI-assisted remote monitoring system to track and predict the progression of PD. This system is currently under development and testing at Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) in Finland, and at the University of Padua (UNIPD) in Italy, the two sites included in the current study.
The study was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and in accordance with the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO) and was approved by the local ethics committees at HUS, UNIPD, and Erasmus University Rotterdam. An informed consent was obtained from all interviewees before participation. Participation was voluntary and no material incentive was given.
