Kinesia 360 - Motor Assessment System for Movement Disorders
The Kinesia 360 is a motor assessment system designed for continuous, remote monitoring of movement disorder symptoms such as tremor, slowness, and dyskinesia. It utilizes sensors worn on the wrist and ankle, integrated with a mobile application to facilitate continuous data recording. This data is processed in real-time via the Kinesia Web Portal to generate severity scores that correlate with clinician assessments every two minutes. The device supports continuous ambulatory monitoring, offering high sensitivity and reliability in measurements. Clinicians can access these reports and track compliance through a secure web platform that complies with regulatory standards. The comprehensive solution includes a smartphone app for guided usage and patient-reported outcomes, bolstered by customizable medication diaries and device management for software updates. It is sold as a medical device in multiple countries and supports clinical trials. However, its usage in Canada is limited to non-serious cases for therapeutic purposes only.
