| contents | Smartphone-based measurement platforms can collect data on human sensory function in an accessible manner. We developed a smartphone app that measures vibration perception thresholds by commanding vibrations with varying amplitudes and recording user responses via (1) a staircase method that adjusts a variable stimulus, and (2) a decay method that measures the time a user feels a decaying stimulus. We conducted two studies with healthy adults to assess the reliability and usability of the app when the smartphone was applied to the hand and foot. The staircase mode had good reliability for repeated measurements, both with and without the support of an in-person experimenter. The app has the potential to be used at home in unguided scenarios. |
