Abstract
A method of assessing neuromuscular disease in a subject, the method comprising: recording the subject performing one or more tasks on a device, wherein the one or more tasks requires the subject to interact with the device by touching the device, including recording touch interactions with the device using one or more sensors of the device; determining one or more parameters from the recorded touch interactions; comparing the determined parameters with predetermined parameters.
Claims29
A method for assessing neuromuscular disease in a subject using a handheld or wearable computing device, the method comprising:
- recording the subject performing a plurality of tasks on a device, wherein at least one of the plurality of tasks requires the subject to interact with the device by touching the device, including recording touch interactions with the device using one or more sensors of the device, and wherein at least one of the plurality of tasks requires the subject to manipulate the device, including recording movement of the device using one or more sensors of the device;
- wherein at least one task of the plurality of tasks comprises background monitoring of the device, obtained via sensor outputs not resulting directly from performance of a task presented to the subject via a user interface of the device specifically for assessing neuromuscular disease;
- determining one or more parameters from the recorded touch interactions and the recorded background monitoring of the computing device;
- and
- comparing the determined parameters for each task with predetermined parameters.

A computer program that when executed on a handheld or wearable computing device configured to perform the following steps:
- enabling the subject to perform a plurality of tasks on a device, wherein at least one of the plurality of tasks requires the subject to interact with the device by touching the device, including recording touch interactions with the device using one or more sensors of the device, and wherein at least one of the plurality of tasks requires the subject to manipulate the device, including recording movement of the device using one or more sensors of the device;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of tasks comprises background monitoring of the device, during which sensor outputs are gathered not as a result of performance of any task presented to the subject via a user interface of the device specifically for assessing neuromuscular disease;
- determining one or more parameters from the recorded touch interactions and the recorded movement of the computing device;
- and
- comparing the determined parameters for each task with predetermined parameters.
A system for assessing neuromuscular disease in a subject, the system comprising:
- a device comprising a touch screen and one or more sensors, wherein the touch screen is configured to present a plurality of tasks to the subject and record the subject performing the plurality of tasks, wherein cat least one of the plurality of tasks requires the subject to interact with the device by touching the device, and the one or more sensors are configured to record touch interactions with the device, and wherein at least one of the plurality of tasks requires the subject to manipulate the device, and the one or more sensors are configured to record movement of the device;
- wherein the plurality of tasks includes a task performed during alternative use of the device, not a task presented to the subject via a user interface of the device specifically for assessing neuromuscular disease;
- and
- one or more processors configured to determine one or more parameters from the recorded touch interactions and from the recorded movement of the device and to compare the determined parameters with predetermined parameters.
