A unique measurement and analysis service for Parkinson's disease: Providing an accurate and clear picture of a patient's condition
The Adamant Health measurement and analysis service complements clinical assessment and helps clinicians get a more holistic view of a patient’s condition by collecting symptom data over an extended period of time and at home.
We have developed the first research-based precision technology to measure the visible and invisible motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). By combining surface electromyography (EMG) and kinematic measurement, we add the measurement of neuromuscular signals to motion measurement for deeper insight into muscle activity.
With EMG and kinematic measurement, it is possible to differentiate between visually similar symptoms, detect and measure rigidity, differentiate side effects, and detect symptoms not yet physically visible. By cross-validating the findings between the two technologies – EMG and kinematic measurement – more meaningful and holistic clinical insight can be provided for therapeutic decision-making and treatment planning.
EMG and kinematic measurement device for accurate symptom assessment
The measurement device provided as part of the Adamant Health measurement and analysis service comprises a compact sensor (CE-marked medical device), an electrode patch, and an adapter. The small and lightweight sensor, measuring neuromuscular signals and motion, is waterproof (IP67) and enables measurement over several days without recharging. Thus, the sensor does not need to be removed during the measurement, for example, for charging or personal care.
We are currently working to introduce a one-piece electrode patch for premium comfort during the measurement. The new electrode patch will eliminate cables, making it easy for healthcare professionals to install the equipment and more comfortable to wear for the patient. The new electrode patch will be available later in 2025.
The measurement device is provided in a self-sustaining case for easy handling, storage, and shipping if the measurement is carried out within the patient’s home environment.
The Adamant Health clinic application for a seamless use of our service
The user-friendly Adamant Health clinic application enables full use of the Adamant Health measurement and analysis service. It guides the healthcare professional through the measurement process, provides a personalized diary for each patient, and delivers the symptom report for the treating clinician.
An intuitive user interface and optimized workflows make the application effective and easy to use. Limited data input reduces administrative effort to a minimum.
Easy-to-use patient diary specifically developed for people with Parkinson's disease
Our patient diary, particularly developed for people with Parkinson’s disease, offers an easy and secure way to collect accurate information on the patient's medication intakes, symptoms, and well-being for clinical use. The patient diary is fully integrated with the Adamant Health service, making it easy to take into use with minimal administrative effort and a high level of data privacy and security.
The information for accessing each patient's personalized diary is retrieved directly from the clinic application used by the healthcare professional and handed to the patient when the measurement is started. The patient does not need to install any software to use the diary.
Easy-to-read symptom report with detailed symptom data
After the measurement, the clinician receives a clearly structured and easy-to-read report with detailed and accurate symptom data. The report includes a graphic visualization of the changes in the patient’s condition, an overview of the detected symptoms, including their timing, and a summary of the symptoms reported by the patient.
The main page of the report presents the required information to capture the condition of the patient within one glance, while additional pages provide more details for each day of the measurement.
The Adamant Health measurement and analysis service enables clinicians to receive a detailed overview of their patients’ actual symptoms over a longer period of time, allowing the development of highly personalized treatment plans for optimal symptom control.
In addition, regular assessments of the patient’s symptoms allow clinicians to identify patterns and trends and better understand the progression of the disease. Regular measurement also helps to objectively monitor the treatment's effectiveness and maintain a better care balance for the patient.
