At the end of November, Terenz plans to release “KinSense”, a wearable device for determining the Gait Parameters for Parkinson On-Off (Drug Effect).

Why you need KinSense

When a person is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, it is common to start drug treatment first. The purpose of Parkinson’s disease treatment is to allow people to operate their daily lives without difficulty. The drug must be taken continuously, rather than being completed after several months or 1–2 years of drug administration. Therefore, drug treatment for Parkinson’s disease patients needs to set the most appropriate treatment policy for the patient.

This requires long-term data analysis of patients whose indications change when the Parkinson patient takes the drug (On) and not (Off). Through a compact wearable device, patient data can be continuously analyzed via patient speed and direction, gravity, acceleration, etc., to find the most appropriate treatment for changing patient conditions.

What is KinSense?

KinSense is a wearable platform that helps Parkinson patients check their Gait parameters while performing activities with a tiny click. The Platforms analyses the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) Data using a wearable device by leveraging Machine Learning Models to determine the Freezing of Gait and also Drug Effect Durations [On-Off] in Parkinson Patients.

Basic Architecture

Use Case 1: When for the first time the device is started

1. The device is charged using a USB Charger. [Charge Level to be identified by three Led Lights or Display]
2. Now the device is not paired with any Phone.
3. The user will open a phone and try to Sign Up using Google Mail or Naver.
4. After sign up the user will try to search for the nearby devices and as soon as the user finds the Wearable device listed, he will start the pairing. [Pairing process to be decided like Authenticating the device]
5. After the pairing process, the main screen will be shown where there will be a Start button which will initiate the data fetch process.
6. Now after clicking the start button, the user will perform the designated activity, for example walking or running or jogging. At the end of the activity, the user will press the stop button.
7. As soon as the user presses the stop button, the data will be fetched from the cache memory of the wearable to the mobile application using the Bluetooth 4.0 module.
8. Now after the data fetch, we will perform the analysis inside the application to show the users the results on the screen. [All designs regarding the screen will be sent ASAP]

Use Case 2: Normal Usage

1. The device is already paired with the application so the user now only presses the start button and the data fetch is started by the wearable device and stored in the memory cache of the wearable.
2. Performs the activity and presses the Stop button.
3. Data is fetched from the cache memory of the wearable.
4. After data fetch analysis is performed and the results are displayed.
