    It is therefore recommended to synchronize the device data using the STAT-ON App. After the data is sent, the device memory will be automatically cleared and the sensor will be able to monitor again. Formatting (clearing the memory of the sensor) can be also done, but in this case, the stored data not yet synchronized will be completely lost.
  • Page 16: Charging The Device

    When the sensor connects with the STAT-ON App while in error state, it will transfer the error code to the App and the App will offer to perform a sensor reset. If the error persists after the reset or occurs periodically, please write down the error code displayed on the App and contact support@sense4care.com.
  • Page 17: Switching On/Off The System

    If the user expects not to use the sensor in a long time, keeping it in shutdown mode is recommended. Shutdown mode is activated after formatting the device using the STAT-ON App (see section 5.3.7- Format). It is recommended to synchronize all the data before formatting in order not to permanently lose all the data stored in the sensor.
  • Page 18: Regular Use

    Regular use The STAT-ON system is a wearable inertial device that monitors the symptoms of PD patients. This is a medical device and only health professionals must manage it. Outcomes of the sensor might be used to adjust or evaluate a therapy, to adjust the diets of the patient, or evaluate the result of the therapy.

    7.2.2. Graphs 7.2.2.1. Weekly Motor State One of the most relevant graphs in which it shows the motor state of the patient in periods of maximum 7 days. This means that a graph is generated for every 7 days (or less) of monitoring. Below, it is shown an example of the motor state.
  • Page 31 7.2.2.2. Weekly Time in OFF state This graph shows the daily-accumulated time in OFF state that has been detected. On the horizontal axis, it is shown the days monitored (maximum one week) and on the vertical axis the percentage of monitored time that the patient has been in OFF state. Although the bars are based on the percentage of monitored time that has been detected as OFF state, information is added about the number of hours the patient has been in this state.
  • Page 32 Figure 21. Number of FoG episodes 7.2.2.4. Weekly stride fluidity The following graph presents the weekly evolution of the average stride fluidity that the patient presents during the monitoring period. The stride fluidity is a measure of acceleration that is obtained as an intermediate result of the bradykinesia detector, which has a value (ranging from 2 to 25) and which is related to the fluidity of the movement that the patient presents when walking.

The variables shown are: Step length • • Stride speed • Cadence • Energy expenditure Number of steps •...
  • Page 34 7.2.2.6. Daily motor symptoms STAT-ON, in the extended report, generates a graph of motor symptoms per monitored day where it can be seen, in addition to the motor status, the dyskinesia and the number of FoG episodes that the patient has suffered as well as the hours of appearance. The resolution in all the daily charts corresponds to half an hour.
  • Page 35 background of the graph, the detected motor state is also drawn (red OFF, green ON, yellow INT). Finally, note that the thresholds calculated (as self-adaptive algorithm), upper (green) or lower (red), are also drawn. These thresholds indicate when bradykinesia is considered and, given that patients do not walk in the same way, they are patient-dependent.
