Abstract

Movement disorders are characterized by paucity or excess of movement. Access to specialists is difficult for patients living in rural areas, making regular visits for symptom monitoring inconvenient. Asynchronous video recording represents a telemedicine approach with temporal freedom but holds the challenge that clinicians and patients can’t interact with each other and thus can’t correct errors, which can lead to a decrease in data quality. This article presents an android application (Move2Screen) that aims to enable asynchronous therapy monitoring and addresses the problem of missing interaction by an implemented video protocol for guided recording to capture visible symptoms in the example of cervical dystonia. The videos can be accessed by clinicians subsequent to an automated upload. A user study of the app was conducted, indicating a strong interest and acceptance rate with a high willingness to use the app. Furthermore, the app can be used to record a standardized data set, which allows a large number of patients to be reached without great effort by clinicians and also provides the possibility of a semi-automated video-based analysis of current symptoms and the longitudinal symptom progression.
