Chapter 6: Patient Use
Overview
We recommend that patients set up the system the night before use so that all system components
are fully charged. After waking up in the morning, patients should use the Kinesia 360 Application to
start data collection and put the sensors on. Patients should keep the smartphone with them throughout
the day so that they can use the Pause/Resume feature, which is used in case the sensors need to be
removed temporarily during the day (e.g., during exercise, bathing, etc.). Patients should also keep the
smartphone with them if they are using the diaries in the Kinesia 360 Application to rate their symptoms
and/or log when they took their medication. At the end of the day, patients should use the Kinesia 360
Application to end data collection and return the sensors to the charging pad.
System Setup
The procedure for setting the system up is provided earlier in this document (see Chapter 2. System
Components
– Setup Instructions).
Note
: The Kinesia 360 system includes a Quick Start Guide that is packaged as a reference for patients
to use at home. This guide contains illustrations for setting the system up, donning and doffing the
sensors, and interacting with the tablet application.
Collecting Data with the Motion Sensors
Starting Data Collection
When the patient is ready to begin a motor assessment, the following steps should be followed.
1. From the Kinesia 360
Application Main Screen, select ‘Start Test’.
2. Ensure that the Kinesia sensors are on the Charging Pad in the proper orientation.
3.
Press ‘Next’ once the confirmation dialogue appears.
4. Take each sensor off of the charging pad and place it on the correct body location. Adjust as
needed to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
5. Once both sensors have been secur
ely positioned, press the ‘Start’ button.
Note
: There is a 10 second timeout period after the sensors are taken off of the charging pad. If the
patient takes the sensors off of the charging pad but does not initiate data collection (by pressing the
‘Start’ button) within 10 seconds, he will need to return the sensors to the charging pad again to power
them on before proceeding. We therefore advise that the patient leave the sensors on the charging
pad until the Kinesia 360 Application prompts him to don the sensor bands.
