A smartphone-based applica- tion has been developed for detecting hand tremors. This application runs in background and distinguishes hand tremors from common daily activities. This application can facilitate the continuous monitoring of patients or the early detection of this symptom. The evaluation analyzes 1770 accelerometer samples with cross-validation for assessing the ability of the system for processing unknown data, obtaining a sensitivity of 95.8 % and a specificity of 99.5 %. It also analyzes continuous data for some volun- teers for several days, which corroborated its high performance.2016http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6201110.1007/s00779-016-0956-2http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/62011oai:zaguan.unizar.es:62011info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T81info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/TEC2013-50049-EXPPersonal and Ubiquitous Computing 20, 6 (2016), 959-971by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
