Development of an interactive biosensing application for assessing finger dexterity.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Accurate finger function assessment is crucial for monitoring the performance of daily hand activities. However, specialized digital applications are lacking for evaluating various finger tasks. This study aims to develop a custom digital biosensing application to assess finger dexterity.

Methods

We developed a digital biosensing application compatible with smartphones and tablets that enables 3-min testing of finger dexterity, measuring velocity and accuracy for each finger and each movement orientation. Data were collected for the dominant hand from a large cohort of healthy volunteers to establish population norms values.

Results

The construction of the application involved a comprehensive, multi-stage process designed to ensure functionality, user-friend
