| description | Progressive neurodegenerative disease known as Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by both motor and nonmotor symptoms that severely reduce the quality of life. Recent developments in soft robotics provide customizable, cozy, and less intrusive assistive devices, which provide promising answers to these problems. To develop an enhanced support system for people with PD, this article explores the potential of next-generation soft robotics, specifically hydrogel materials, integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) to provide an innovative solution for PD management. The integration of an AI copilot allows for remote monitoring and real-time adjustments, ensuring optimal performance and personalized care. The use of AR enhances human–computer interactions, offering an intuitive and immersive experience for both patients and healthcare providers. By leveraging these advanced technologies, our approach aims to substantially improve motor function, reduce symptoms, and enhance the overall quality of life for PD patients. This review outlines the key components, benefits, and potential impact of this novel approach, highlighting the transformative potential of combining wearable robotics, AI, and AR in the treatment of PD. The potential for creating novel healthcare solutions by combining soft robotics, functional materials, the Internet-of-Things (IoT), and machine learning (ML) is highlighted by this multidisciplinary approach. |
