title: Data management system in a movement disorder center: technical report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We designed a specialized monitoring unit and data management system with systematic storage and easy access for a deep brain stimulation program of patients with movement disorders.
  
  
  METHODS
  All patients were monitored and evaluated in a specialized 24-hour monitoring system whenever it was needed, postoperatively as well as preoperatively. We digitized all the data and developed a data management system that allowed for systematic storage and easy access to the data on demand by users in the offices and outpatient clinics.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We describe our data management system and how it provides benefit to patients in order that others may use it as a template for designing their own data management system.
