How to use ADAS.l
Overview
Patients use ADAS.l on their iPhone to record daily walking, running or cycling activities for up to 60 minutes per Activity Session. Clinical symptoms development will be collected weekly by BASDAI, BASFI question sets. Fetched data would be stored on a Remote Server and linked to an anonymous ID auto assigned to the patient followed by the first data upload.
ADAS.l does not collect any private user information or permanently store data on user phones.
Patients see an easy to understand summary of collected data on their phones and may share it with their physicians.
ADAS.l may be used for:
- Recording the Activity Sessions and Clinical Symptoms. (The Start, Stop buttons, pic. Main)
- Upload collected data to the Remote Data Centre for Processing. (The Upload button, pic. Main)
- Download the simplified summary of processing results. (“My Progress” button, pic. Main)

- Upper screen: Width Red line indicates the maximum E noticed at the particular session; Blue - the averaged E per the same session (pic My_Progress_1). (Ignore the thin lines.)
- Next screen: Total E units spent per the session.
- Next Screen: BASDAI score per the session (pic. My_Progress_2)
- Last Screen: The same for BASFI (pic. My_Progress_2).
Note: Horizontal axis is a consecutive session number.
Footnote:
If you are interested to know the anonymized User ID assigned to you by the ADAS system, you may click the Setting button and look for a number next to User ID on the incoming screen.
When you are uninstalling the ADAS.l from your phone, all pieces of ADAS.l will be removed.
If you install ADAS.l back, a new User ID would be passed to you by the system. For security reasons, there is no way to connect a new ADAS.l installation with your already collected data on the server.
