Movement disorders, such as Parkinson"s disease and Essential tremor, are usually assessed using behavioral tests or clinical questionnaires. The assessment typically involves filling in questionnaires or observation by clinicians. Because of the nature of the process, data and records are not well organized and managed; consequently, accurate assessment may be difficult. In this study, we developed an open-source based application running on Tablet PC. Two clinical questionnaires (e.g. Unified Parkinson’s disease Rating Scale and Clinical rating scale of tremor) were implemented, and the application provides efficient management of assessment records. Two behavioral tests (e.g. line and spiral drawing) that are frequently used are also implemented for quick diagnosis. The source code for the application and user/developer manuals are currently open through the web repository (github), thus anyone can easily download and uses it or clinical or research purposes.
