Objective measurement of movement disorders
Tremsys is a Copenhagen medtech startup building wearable motion sensors and clinical software. We turn how a patient moves into objective, comparable measurements, so clinicians can assess symptoms consistently and follow them over time.
Frequency
Cycles per second
Intensity
How large each movement is
Regularity
How steady the rhythm is
Movement disorders are still assessed by eye
Even tremor, the most common one, is evaluated in a highly subjective way.
Rated by eye
In most clinics, movement symptoms are graded through visual observation and clinical rating scales.
Hard to compare
Ratings can differ between clinicians and between visits, so small changes are easy to miss.
Hard to follow over time
Without objective data, tracking how a patient's symptoms evolve relies on impressions and notes.
From movement to measurement in minutes
Tremsys measures the movement itself, whatever its cause, so it applies across the many conditions that affect how people move. It is built for neurology and movement-disorder clinics, and for clinical research.
-
Attach the sensors
Small motion sensors go on the arms, legs or head, on one side of the body or both. Recording both sides at once lets you compare left and right.
-
Run a guided assessment
The software walks clinician and patient through a standardised protocol, so every recording is comparable across patients, clinicians and visits.
-
Get objective results
Each recording produces measures of intensity, frequency and regularity. Results are kept in the patient's history, with the original data preserved, ready for the next visit.
Where we are and where we're going
-
Now
Working prototype
Wearable sensors and clinical software, starting with tremor, the most common movement disorder.
-
Next
Broader assessments and validation
New assessments covering more movement disorders, and validation of the measurements in clinical settings.
-
Later
Secure cloud platform
Results available to the care team wherever they are, and each patient followed over time, across visits and clinics.
Tremsys is in development and is not yet a certified medical device.
