OUR APP
We are developing a mobile application called "AVA-PD," which utilizes AI-based video analytics to assess and track motor function in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. This application can be used on any smart device, such as a tablet or smartphone, using their existing cameras and processing power. The primary advantage of AVA-PD is that it offers non-intrusive and cost-effective monitoring of motor functions with high precision and low subjectivity. It's designed to protect users' privacy and is specifically designed to be user-friendly for older adults and their caregivers.
How it works?
The app offers regular, standardized evaluations on gait analysis, postural instability assessment, foot and leg agility, hand pronation/supination, and finger tapping. This feature is particularly useful for the early detection of PD and monitoring disease progression over time. the app provides the following:
The app provides the:
-
Ongoing assessment and tracking of motor functions in PD patients.
-
Allowing for the identification of patterns and trends.
-
Assisting healthcare professionals and caregivers in monitoring the effectiveness of treatments and therapy.
