Over 10 million people in the US deal with hand tremors, and a larger number world wide.
Tremors often begin years, or decades before they're noticed.
However people don't have a good way to track what is going on, or what makes their symptoms worse.
If someone asks you: “How long have you had that tremor?” or “Has your tremor gotten worse?”
It's very hard to say, because it's difficult to notice subtle changes over time.
TremWatch(TM) is for personal education and not for medical diagnosis*. It offers an easy way to track what is going on, learn more about their own responses.
TremWatch(TM) is helps you see how coffee, stress, lack of sleep, or medications seem to affect your tremors.
TremWatch(TM) is the first module in a suite of integrated wellness tools. A more advanced statistical analysis package is also in development. It will provide ongoing monthly charts of changes in tremor amplitude, frequency and other information. This tool will archive your data and run on multiple platforms.
A research version of TremWatch(TM) will be available for health professionals conducting studies. This version includes other features and sends encrypted data, real time allow better tracking. If you are a researcher in this area, please feel free to contact us.
TremWatch (TM) for Android 4.x allows you to:
- Measure Tremors in your left and right hands
- Distinguish the direction your hand tremor is in (ie. does it tend to move more side to side, forward & backwards, or up and down)
- Compare differences & log data over time
- View multiple separate measurements side by side to compare
- Frequencies measured from 0 Hz - 25 Hz
- Graphs auto scale for smaller amplitude measurements
-TremWatch(TM) resizes to fit phones, tablets & other devices
- Export data for archival or use in other software
Graphs include:
- Tremor Amplitude vs. Frequency for combined tremors
- Tremor Amplitude vs. Frequency in separate graphs for each direction X,Y & Z. This allows you to see if your hand movement is mostly sideways, forwards/backwards, or up/down.
- Tremor Raw Data (Acceleration vs Time)
- Multiple measurements can be seen as graphs side by side for comparison between each hand, measurement dates, etc.
10% of the proceeds from sales of TremWatch(TM) are donated to the Multiple Systems Atrophy Coalition a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Human Innovations, LLC is not affiliated with the MSA Coalition. However, we have a good friend dealing with MSA.
