Application that measurement of physical fitness, exercise ability became easy by familiar using smartphone "Hacaro (Hacaro)" series! From the "Hacaro" series, an application to measure "Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)" was born. iTUG i means Instrumented, that is, measurement with an instrument.

This score is calculated from the volume of 95% confidence ellipsoid of iTUG time and 3D acceleration time series data. This score has been verified to be reliable and relevant, and is a universal measure for assessing gait. Items that can be measured with this app ·time ・ ITUG score ・ Division graph of operation ・ 3D acceleration graph ・ 3D acceleration graph volume About preservation ・ Users save data to the cloud server. Users can retrieve data from the server and display it on the screen. ・ When guest play, the latest 30 items are saved on the terminal. ・ The latest one record is displayed on the home screen including graph data.
