Touch Diagnostics, also known as TouchDx is renowned for developing mHealth solutions for the users of the iPhone. Its latest application called the TremorTracer is proving to be quite a revolutionary one. The application would help the physicians to assess the tremor so that they can find out and monitor the changes in the patients having deficit in their motor function because of tremor.

TremorTracer application enables the physicians to evaluate and make tremor assessments very easily and comprehensively. A large number of people in the United States are vulnerable to tremors that are associated with Parkinson’s disease. The disease is undetectable and depends entirely on the clinical observation. The iPhone application monitors the neurological symptoms that are connected with tremor. It is of great practical use for the physicians and includes three different tests.

There is an Archimedes Spiral Test which lets the healthcare practitioner asses the different types of tremor in the patients. The patient by the help of this test can view a spiral pattern on the screen of their iPhone which is further used for different diagnosis. The Writing Test allows the doctors to find out about micrographia in the patients as he writes letters on the iPhone screen.

The last test in this application is called the Straight line Test. It is a time based test that enables the doctors to track the motor functions of the patients and to know about their deficits and movement disorders. TremorTracer is the first iPhone application of its kind and would certainly increase the accuracy and clinical yield associated with tremor patients.
