Development and pilot testing of ChildSIDE app for children with PIMD/SMID in JMIR Rehab

Our study on describing the design and development of the ChildSIDE app for independent communication and mobility of children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities or severe and motor and intellectual disabilities has been recently published in Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR) Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology (JRAT).


ChildSIDE app collects and transmits data associated with children’s behaviors, and linked location and environment information collected from data sources (GPS, iBeacon device, ALPS Sensor, and OpenWeatherMap application programming interface [API]) to the database. The aims of this study were to measure and compare the server/API performance of the app in detecting and transmitting environment data from the data sources to the database, and to categorize the movements associated with each behavior data as the basis for future development and analyses.
