  • MOVEMENT DISORDER DETERMINATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20210113143
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to movement disorder determination systems and methods. The systems and methods involve a mobile device and a computer system communicating with each other over a communications network. The mobile device is implemented with a pattern receiving and conversion software application and the computer system is implemented with a pattern processing software application. The pattern receiving and conversion software application and the pattern processing software application are configured to determine whether an individual has a movement disorder and the severity of the disorder if he does from a trace produced by the individual over a pattern such as an Archemidal spiral. The pattern processing software application processes the user trace to make the determination and informs the user the result of its determination.
