ResearchKit 1.2 Release Notes
New Active Tasks
Tower of Hanoi Task
The Tower of Hanoi task is frequently used in psychological research on problem solving.
It is a mathematical puzzle consisting of three rods and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks in a stack in ascending order of size on one rod (the smallest at the top).
The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following rules:
Only one disk can be moved at a time.
Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack.
No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
Paced Serial Addition Test (PSAT) Task
The PSAT task provides support for both the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) and the Paced Visual Serial Addition Test (PVSAT) versions.
The PASAT is a neuropsychological test used to assess capacity and rate of information processing and sustained and divided attention.
It generates a series of single digits (for example, 60), at the specific frequency (for example, one new digit every 2 or 3 seconds). The user must add the newly presented digit to the one prior to it.
Timed Walk Task
This task measures gait speed, in the form of the Timed 25-Foot Walk in the context of multiple sclerosis.
Gait speed has been demonstrated to be a useful and reliable functional measure of walking ability. When administering the Timed Walk Task, patients are allowed to use assistive devices (canes, crutches, walkers).
Charts Module
A Charts Module has been implemented. It features three chart types: a pie chart (ORKPieChartView), a line graph chart (ORKLineGraphChartView), and a discrete graph chart (ORKDiscreteGraphChartView).
The views in the Charts Module can be used independently of the rest of ResearchKit. It doesn't automatically connect with any other ResearchKit module: the developer has to supply the data to be displayed through the views' dataSources, which allows maximum flexibility.
