Tremor Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano: Wearable Therapy Progress Monitor
Tremor Severity Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano - Track Therapy Progress Over Time
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
For patients with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease, tracking symptom severity over weeks and months provides critical feedback on therapy effectiveness. This kit guides you through building a wrist-worn data logger that uses an MPU6050 accelerometer to record tremor frequency and amplitude weekly, storing timestamped readings on a microSD card. By visualizing those trends, you or your clinician can objectively assess whether medication adjustments or physical therapy are working.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a compact, rechargeable wristband that automatically logs tremor data every time you wear it during a timed session. The OLED display shows real-time session status, and the logged CSV files can be graphed in any spreadsheet tool to visualize tremor severity trends over months. The result is a personal, medically relevant data recorder that helps quantify a condition often assessed subjectively.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrating a 6-axis IMU for low-frequency human tremor measurement
- Timestamping sensor readings with a real-time clock for longitudinal studies
- Logging structured data to a microSD card in CSV format for easy analysis
- Designing a battery-powered wearable circuit with LiPo charging management

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for B.Tech ECE, EEE, or biomedical engineering students building physiology monitors as part of their coursework or hackathon entries like Smart India Hackathon. It also suits IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS research projects that require a low-cost, reproducible tremor quantification tool. Experienced hobbyists with soldering skills who want a challenging wearable build will find it rewarding.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the kit box to access the AI build companion trained for this exact project; it provides step-by-step help. If you prefer, you can also reach our engineers via WhatsApp for hands-on debugging assistance.
Can I use this to monitor Parkinson's or essential tremor?
Yes, the MPU6050 is sensitive enough to capture the 3-12 Hz tremor frequencies typical of these conditions. The kit logs raw data, so you can apply your own filtering and analysis in Python, MATLAB, or Excel to extract medically relevant metrics.
Will the data be time-stamped accurately for weekly tracking?
The DS3231 real-time clock is battery-backed and maintains accurate date/time even when the main LiPo is removed. Every session log includes precise timestamps, making it easy to track weekly or monthly trends.
Is soldering experience required, or are there pre-soldered connections?
This kit requires soldering. You'll solder components onto the PCB prototype boards using the included soldering iron and solder wire. The AI companion includes clear soldering guidance for each joint, making it manageable even for first-time solderers.
MPU6050 logs tremor frequency and amplitude weekly. Plots trend over months to track therapy effectiveness.
