Longitudinal analysis of fine motor movement in an ecological context for patients with Parkinson disease

Keyword: Parkinson disease

Functional Description: The originality of this application relies on the acquisition of data in an ecological context. Thanks to this application that patients download on their personal computer, the data corresponding to cursor displacement on screen and raw input from pointing devices are collected, encrypted and sent to a server. The analysis of this data allows to compute a motor score according to the parameters of movement, in order to identify alterations in fine motor control. We ensure a realistic score based on the important quantity of data collected. This software is written in C++ and runs on Windows. It uses the libpointing library to access raw data from pointing devices.

Release Functional Description: Fixed bugs and developed new features.

News Of The Year: Release of the 1.3.0 version fixing a number of bugs and introducing a number of new small features. An APP request is close of getting approved.
