Abstract: With the advances in medicine and technology, life expectancy has increased significantly in recent decades. While this is positive news, it also brings major challenges to public health systems. As people live longer, the number of cases of agerelated disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), has also grown. These debilitating conditions primarily affect the elderly and can have a devastating impact on the quality of life of patients and their families. Considering emerging treatments, one of the most challenging aspects of neurodegenerative diseases is their early diagnosis and continuous monitoring.
