Quick Start Guide

Hardware & Equipment

The AgeMeter® app requires hardware used in the measurement of the functional aging biomarkers: 

  • Apple minimum 10.2in iPad
  • Over-ear Bluetooth Headphones 
  • Optional iPad Console Stand
  • Apple iPad USB Charger
  • USB 2.0 Charger

To ensure you are starting with full charge, plug in each device for a minimum of 3 hours prior to use. The Apple iPad has a specific firewire cable that works exclusively with that device. 

Prior to beginning a test, ensure that all of the equipment is charged and within arm's reach of the iPad. These will be needed in order to complete the AgeMeter® tests. Ensure that you do not turn off Bluetooth capabilities on the iPad. The bluetooth earphones can also be plugged directly into the iPad.

Administering a Test

The AgeMeter® test is designed be fully self-guided by the user taking the test. A combination of text and video help instruct the user on exactly what to do. Oversight during the test is not required; however, in the event questions do arise, ensure the user knows how to locate you prior to beginning the test.

Step 1:

  • App Installation, Open and Login/Signup
  • Turn on the iPad. Use your Apple ID to setup the iPad
  • Go to the Apple App Store and search for AgeMeter.
  • Download the AgeMeter App
  • Follow the signup instructions.

Step 2:

Add Patients / Home View

After logging in, you'll arrive at the Home View. From the this screen, you'll be able to add new patients and view all past patients added. It is from this screen where you'll also begin new tests for patients. 

To add a new patient, tap the blue "Add New Patient" button on the screen. 

Tap the "Add New Patient" button, to enter the patient's information. Attributes such as weight and height are utilized to help calculate estimated functional age. 

Step 3:

Settings

You can access the Settings view by tapping the "Settings" icon on the bottom of the page. 

From the settings view, you be able to view and adjust the following: 

  • Profile information

  • Unit of measure (metric vs imperial)

  • Password protections

  • Terms & Conditions / Privacy Policy / Licenses

  • Logout

Step 4:

Begin a Test

To begin a test, simply tap on the desired patient's profile cell. This will automatically begin the guided test.

Be sure that all of the hardware (listed above) is within arm's reach, the volume is turned up all the way, and that the headphones are plugged directly into the iPad. Instruct the user to use the headphones for the entirety of the test. 


Test Navigation

Forward/Back:

As previously stated, a user will be automatically guided through each test. However, a user may navigate forward or backward at will by tapping the arrows in the upper right-hand of the screen. This allows a user to replay an information video for a test, or skip a test entirely. Be certain to instruct the user accordingly (for example, if you would like them to take all tests, indicate to do so). 

Exit:

At any point during the test, you may exit back to the Home View by tapping the "X" in the upper left of the screen. After tapping the "X", you must enter your administrative passcode used to login to AgeMeter®. This ensure patients do not access other patient information. After exiting, you may continue taking the test where it left off by tapping the bar on the bottom of the home view labeled "Continue [current test] for [patient name]". 

At the conclusion of the test, the individual test results will display. The results include the estimated functional age of the patient, along with the individualized scores for each test and how that user compares to their chronological age peers (by percentile).
