The Digital Finger Tapping Test is a analytical tool that can be used in a basic research environment to measure a person's motor speed. 

The Digital Finger Tapping Test is an easy-to-use researching tool to measure motor speed for people with complaints of neurocognitive dysfunction or at risk of such condition.

The Digital Finger Tapping Test is currently being tested by IntegerAfrica (http://www.integerafrica.org) in Cape Town, South Africa as a possible screening tool for HIV dementia.

How to use:
The digital finger tapping test will automatically stop counting after 10 seconds (the default) or the specified duration. After the test, the result will be displayed, with an option to delete (ignore the test) or save it. For accuracy, the test must be repeated 3 times for the same hand. The  mean value is calculated automatically.  Repeat the test for the other index finger and record the results in your clinical notes.

During the test, the palm of the hand must remain flat on the surface of the table (if you are using an iPhone) or flat on the surface of the iPad.

Note: The Digital Finger Tapping Test has not been approved by the FDA, EMEA or any other medical board and should only be used for neuropsychological evaluation and study purposes within a basic research environment and not in any diagnostic procedure.  It can be used to provide data to support clinical trials or the writing of scientific publications.
