Kinesia HomeView User's Guide – 01/03/2013
Tablet PC
The touch screen Tablet PC is the central component of the Kinesia HomeView system. A color-
coded system (Table 1) highlights where the AC power cable should be connected to the Tablet
PC, as well as the location of the power button and camera. Patient data is stored on the Tablet
PC while a study is in progress when mobile broadband is not available, or transferred to the web
application in real time when mobile broadband is available. The power cord must remain
connected to the Tablet PC at all times to ensure the system operates properly.

Charging Pad
The Charging Pad allows easy removal and return of the Finger Sensor during motor symptom
assessments. It also serves as the charging platform for the Finger Sensor when motor tests are
not being performed.
Finger Sensor
The Finger Sensor (Figure 2) is worn on the patient's index finger while performing video-guided
motor tasks. During assessments, the patient should wear the Finger Sensor on the index finger
with the blue box facing up. The sensor measures three-dimensional motion using accelerometers
and gyroscopes. Accelerometers measure linear acceleration while gyroscopes measure angular
velocity. Motion sensor data are sampled at 64 Hz.
