Smartphones can Recognize Stress Induced Hand Tremor (original) (raw)
This paper shows that a Smartphone’s accelerometers can corroborate metrics of quality of daily living. A HTC G1 application was created to capture hand tremor. The application was tested on volunteer participants, both with and without known hand tremor. Experiments were run to assess the application’s ability to distinguish tremor for a participant and between participants. The application was also used to test if it could corroborate self report of sleep quality. Our experiments were able to use the Smartphone accelerometers to easily distinguish tremor frequency and frequency change between people with diagnosed hand tremor and those that did not have it. Showing hand tremor on a mobile device has the potential to help those with hand tremor track and gain greater understanding of the tremor’s manifestation over time. Such an understanding could aid in diagnosis and provide those with hand tremor indications of lifestyle factors that exacerbate or relieve certain types of tremor...
