Summary

This study aims to develop an Android-based 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) application to facilitate quick and efficient functional capacity assessment in clinical settings. The project will be carried out by a multidisciplinary team of software engineers and physiotherapists, with algorithms developed for both indoor and outdoor environments. As GPS signals may be lost indoors, the program will utilize the phone's gyroscope for distance measurement, while GPS signals will be used outdoors. The study will include healthy individuals aged 18-65, without any exercise restrictions. Participants' demographic data will be recorded, and the 6MWT will be conducted according to traditional protocols. During the test, parameters such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and walking distance will be measured and compared with traditional methods. The Android application will provide auditory and vibration cues at the start and end of the test and will report health data in real-time. The data will be presented as mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables, and the test reliability will be assessed using the test-retest method. Results will be reported as age- and gender-adjusted z-scores for objective functional decline.

Walk Test-T

6MWT will be conducted according to traditional protocols. During the test, parameters such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and walking distance will be measured and compared with traditional methods.

OTHER

Walk Test-A

In order to develop Android-based 6DYT, the system will be designed with a multidisciplinary team consisting of software engineer and physiotherapist. In this programme, separate algorithms will be developed for indoor and outdoor environments so that individuals can be evaluated in a hospital environment, at home or in daily life. In indoor environments, the GPS signal is lost or there is not enough signal strength. For this reason, the programme will be developed so that the gyroscope of the phone can be used for distance measurement. GPS signals will be used outdoors. In this way, the physical activity level of the individual both in the hospital and in daily life will be measured.
