Quick Start Guide

Hardware & Equipment

Every AgeMeter® kit comes with several pieces of hardware used in the measurement of the medical biomarkers. The equipment included is as follows: 

  • Apple 10.2in iPad (x1)

  • Over-ear Bluetooth Headphones (x1)

  • iPad Console Stand (x1)

  • Apple iPad USB Charger (x1)

  • USB 2.0 Charger (x1)

Each hardware device has been fully charged prior to shipment, however occasionally these may lose charge during transit. 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. The pulse oximeter uses batteries. One USB 2.0 cord and charging block is included for the iPad. If you have a USB 2.0 charger already, this may be used as well. 

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® test. The pulse oximeter utilizes wireless Bluetooth technology and does not need to be plugged into the iPad. It will automatically connect when powered on during the test. 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 & Login/Signup

  • Turn on the iPad. Use your Apple ID to setup the iPad. 

  • Go to the Apple App Store and search for AgeMeter.

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. 

When you tap the "Add New Patient" button, you'll be able to enter in all of the patient's information who will be taking the test. Attributes such as weight and height are utilized to help calculate estimated functional age.

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 place the headphones for the entirety of the test.

Test Navigation

Memory test app interface with instructions to tap any button to begin. Six numbered buttons are displayed. A photo of a hand using a tablet is shown. An arrow points to a navigation button in the top right corner.

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).

A small image on the right shows a person touching a tablet. Below, there are numbered circles labeled 1 to 6. An arrow points to a close button in the top left corner.

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).
