Mobility test - with
the Up & Go App

Age-associated deterioration in balance abilities results in a range of mobility impairments such as standing up, turning around, sitting down. In worst-case scenarios, this can lead to heavy falls which can be particularly detrimental to elderly populations. To evaluate mobility impairments in the elderly, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is a commonly used test, usually measured by a stopwatch. Together with Prof. Dr. Clemens Becker, Head of the Digital Geriatrics Department at the Heidelberg University Hospital, Melissa Böttinger and mHealthTechnologies, we have developed the Up&Go app, which allows users to do the TUG test with your smartphone. The app is user friendly, and the test is explained to the user before the trial begins. Besides a smartphone, all you need is a chair, a bottle, and enough space. The app evaluates in the form of a traffic light system.

The app can only be downloaded in Germany.
