Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
● Neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
● Targets and kills motor neurons.● Paralyzing and eventually leading to death.
ALS Research
● No cure to the disease.● A Single drugs that prolong the patient life by several
months.● Variable disease● There is not enough data for scientific research
Project Goals
Introduce new ways for motoric data collection:
● Rough motoric data collectionUsing IMU sensors located on the smartphone, shoes and others located around the waist or chest.The wearable sensors are connected wirelessly (BLE) to the patient smartphone.
● Stored in the cloud for analysis and research
● Web UI for patient data visualisation
The wearable IMU SensorFor ALS Monitoring System
Today’s Medical Monitoring
● Patients are asked to answer a questionnaire.● Doctors diagnose physical stage by observation and
questioning: does not reflect the objective status of the patient.
Demo
Measurable KPIs● We assume that each KPI is weekly. More granular
KPIs can be obtained but are left for further research● Measured KPIs
o Covered distance / movement - measured in the phoneo Number of falls - measured by the chest sensoro Number of weekly leg steps - measured by the leg sensoro Average leg movement vector - measured by the leg sensoro Average leg polar angle - measured by the leg sensoro Average azimuthal leg angle - measured by the leg sensor
Thank youIATI Weakaton2015
SAP and Prize4Life have developed a System with a smartphone APP that allows the patients to:● Answer questions about his/her situation● Test delicate motor capabilities● Record speech for offline analysis
