Summary:In this paper we propose an innovative method and an innovative system dedicated to analyze the head tremor of people with neurological disorders. The method envisages the acquisition of the tremor data using intelligent clothes. A set of capacitive sensors are inserted in the collar and detect the head position and movement. The tremor parameters resulted after FFT analysis (amplitudes and frequencies) reveals the presence of essential tremor which is difficult to be identified by visual investigation.
