A simple app for timed walk tests

Timed Walk App

Apache Cordova app that allows people to perform timed walk tests, like the 6-minute walk test. The algorithm that computes the distance from the GPS is the same as the one used in this paper.

This app is not certified as a medical device and should be used only for general wellbeing or as a home-based complement to more rigorous clinical assessment.

Build Setup

You need:

• Nodejs (recommended version 16.18.1)
• Apache Cordova (tested with version 11.0.0)

Then run:

npm install
cordova prepare

Run

Emulated on web at localhost:8080

npm run serve

Run it on device:

npm run build
cordova run

Deploy

npm run build
cordova prepare
cordova build

Then you need to sign the app and release it. Seek instructions online on how to do it.

timedwalkapp's Issues

add possibility to dump test data on file

write all GPS samples, steps, start time, end time etc.

add voice messages

we can use the speech synthesis API, which is also localised.

Example code here:

var msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance()
msg.lang = 'it'
msg.text = 'Ciao mondo'
speechSynthesis.speak(msg)

harmonise with standard instructions to the test

see guidelines here: https://www.heartonline.org.au/media/DRL/6MWT_standardised_instructions.pdf

voice messages could be used in addition
