SWISSTEP / KNOWLEDGE LIBRARY
Technical protocols, implementation frameworks and policy documents for movement-monitoring programmes.
These resources address decisions that journal abstracts rarely resolve: operational definitions, protocol execution, implementation requirements and regulatory interpretation. Publisher and document-type labels distinguish independent guidance from manufacturer-authored technical or commercial material.
Clinical implementation materials connecting mobility and balance assessment to a multifactorial falls pathway. Use the named protocols to standardise administration, then integrate their findings with medication review, fall history and other relevant domains.
Practical use. Anchor a sensor-informed service to a defined assessment and response pathway; retain prospective fall ascertainment when evaluating effectiveness.
FDA guidance on digital health technologies used for remote acquisition in clinical investigations. It addresses fitness for purpose, verification and validation, usability and the management of remotely collected data.
Practical use. Map endpoint requirements to technology selection, participant training, data integrity and retention. The document supports investigation design; product marketing status requires its own intended-use assessment.
Framework resources for separating sensor verification, analytical validation and clinical validation, complemented by V3+ usability considerations.
Practical use. Build an evidence matrix identifying which claims are supported, which configurations were evaluated and where intended-population evidence remains incomplete. Consult the underlying papers for definitions and framework scope.
Provider-authored research summaries, case material, webinars and white papers on smartphone gait measurement and remote clinical workflows. These resources help identify practical acquisition and implementation questions.
Practical use. Trace numerical or clinical-effect claims to their originating study and distinguish a described workflow from a prospectively evaluated intervention. The research library is a useful starting point for teams assessing smartphone-based collection.
A provider-authored account of gait-centred fall-risk assessment in skilled nursing settings. Read it as an implementation and evidence-appraisal resource alongside the original analyses.
Practical use. Examine cohort selection, prospective versus retrospective fall ascertainment, prediction horizon, calibration and external validation. Report alert workload and the intervention triggered by a classification when assessing clinical utility. Access may require registration with OneStep.
A primary CMS orientation to Medicare telehealth and remote-monitoring services. Coverage, coding and payment depend on the specific service and applicable date-of-service requirements.
Practical use. Reconcile the proposed workflow with eligible practitioners, device and data requirements, consent, documented management and interaction time. Use current payer instructions for billing decisions.
Technical documentation describing inertial motion-capture gait outputs and report generation. It supports evaluation of the acquisition-to-report workflow and the scope of the derived kinematic measures.
Practical use. Compare coordinate and model conventions with the intended biomechanical analysis. Use independent, parameter-specific measurement studies when judging agreement or clinical interpretation.
