1 Introduction to the PRO-Diary System
1.1 An Overview of the PRO-Diary System
The PRO-Diary system consists of a wrist-worn electronic patient diary and
associated PC software which can record the user’s answers to questions during
daily living in a very flexible and easy to use way. The PRO-Diary incorporates a
tri-axial accelerometer to allow objective actigraphy data to be collected while the
device is worn. Actigraphy data may be saved and loaded into the CamNtech
MotionWare Software for off line analysis. The device is intended to monitor
limb or body movements during daily living and sleep. The PRO-Diary can be
used to assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical
motion is desired.
The PRO-Diary has a built-in score pad that allows the wearer to subjectively
assign and enter responses to pre-programmed questions. The score pad can be
used as a substitute or in addition to the traditional written patient diary in
conjunction with activity monitoring.
The PRO-Diary system comprises of:
One or more PRO-Diary devices –to be worn or carried by the subject
PC software for designing questionnaires, setting-up, downloading,
viewing and exporting recorded answers
The PRO-Diary has a direct USB connection for setting up, downloading and
charging the battery. See Section 3 for details of battery charging and expected
life.
The PRO-Diary has a clear, high contrast OLED display and the character size
may be changed during configuration. The front panel keys are touch sensitive
and require no force to operate. There are three main controls: the function key
which has multiple functions, the select key which is generally used to choose a
selection and slider control which allows precise item selection by means of left
or right swiping movements.

1.2 Indications For Use
The PRO-Diary is a compact, lightweight, body-worn activity monitoring device
that may be used to document physical movement associated with applications
in physiological monitoring. The device is intended to monitor limb or body
movements during daily living and sleep. The PRO-Diary can be used to assess
activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desired.
The PRO-Diary has a built-in score pad that allows the wearer to subjectively
assign and enter responses to pre-programmed questions. The score pad can be
used as a substitute or in addition to the traditional written patient diary in
conjunction with activity monitoring.
1.3 Contraindications
The PRO-Diary Motion is indicated for use on healthy, undamaged areas of skin.
Where the patient has a history of skin irritation, a device should be worn for a
brief period to test for skin irritation prior to commencing any recording.
1.4 Required Skills, Training & Knowledge of Intended Users.
It is intended that the device be administered only by duly qualified health care
professionals, researchers and or trained nursing staff, possibly in a hospital
environment.
1.5 General Description of Use
The PRO-Diary Motion provides patient diary functionality by means of PC
software based questionnaire configuration and upload to the device. The device
will automatically prompt the subject for input at pre-defined intervals or,
depending upon configuration, upon user request. The responses to the
questions are recorded to internal non-volatile memory and the date may then be
downloaded using the PC software. The resulting data may be exported for
further analysis in third party software packages.
The PRO-Diary Motion contains a miniature accelerometer to allow
measurement and recording of physical movement of the wrist which provides a
close correlation to whole body movement. The data are sampled at 50Hz and
processed into ‘epochs’ of user selectable length. These data are stored into an
internal non-volatile memory and then downloaded for analysis at the end of the
study period. Activity data recorded by the PRO-Diary may be analysed off-line
using the MotionWare Software Package.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 8
2 Installing the PRO-Diary Software
2.1 System Requirements
The PRO-Diary software is supplied on a CD-ROM containing all of the
components required to install the software package. The following are the
minimum requirements of a host PC for installing the PRO-Diary software:
Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or 8, 32 or 64bit operating systems.
IBM compatible 2GHz + processor speed recommended
500 MB hard disk space
One free USB port
A CD-ROM or DVD drive for software installation
Graphics SVGA(1280 x 1024) recommended
In general, a faster processor will provide superior performance.
2.2 Software Installation Menu
Place the CD-ROM into the drive; the software should start automatically and
display the following installation menu:
To install the software, click on ‘Install PRO-Diary PC Software’ and follow the
installation process. Note that the installation will differ for new users and existing
users as described in Section 2.3 below.
A message warning that ‘Publisher cannot be verified’ may be displayed – click
‘Run’ to accept. (this is a Windows security warning and is not a problem).
If the above menu is not automatically displayed, browse the CD and run the file
‘SplashMenu.exe’.
Note that the software requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to operate –this
will be automatically installed if not present.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 9
2.3 Users upgrading from an earlier version of the Software
Upon following the procedure described in Section 2.2, users upgrading older
versions of software may be asked if they wish to repair or remove the existing
version of the software when the new software installation is run for the first time.
The option to remove should be selected and then the software installation run
for a second time to install the new version as described in Section 2.2.
A message warning that ‘Publisher cannot be verified’ may be displayed – click
‘Run’ to accept. (this is a Windows security warning and is not a problem).
2.4 Installing the USB Drivers
If the Installation menu is not already displayed, insert the supplied CD ROM into
the CD/DVD drive on the host PC then connect the PRO-Diary to a free USB
Port using the cable provided. The Installation menu should be automatically
displayed (as shown in Section 2.2).
Depending upon the operating system in use and the current driver status, the
computer may display a message saying ‘Found New Hardware’ and will then
load the drivers with no user intervention. If the drivers loaded automatically,
simply close the installation menu and the drivers should be ready to use.
If the drivers do not load automatically, you should select ‘Manually Install
CamNtech USB Drivers’ and carefully follow the on-screen instructions. If you
have any problems installing the drivers, please read the help document and
download the latest drivers from http://www.camntech.com/drivers.
During manual installation, a screen may appear that tells the user that the driver
is not digitally signed by Microsoft. Select ‘Continue Anyway’ (Please note that
this is NOT a problem and just means that the CamNtech version of the driver
software has not been assessed by Microsoft. In fact the actual drivers are
Microsoft approved). The drivers will be installed and the computer will then tell
the user that the new hardware is ready to use. If you change the USB port that
the reader is plugged into then the driver may be automatically re-installed by
Windows. This is an automatic process and the user need take no action.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 11
3 Charging the PRO-Diary Battery
The PRO-Diary contains a lithium polymer rechargeable battery. The life of the
battery is very dependent on usage of the unit –more frequent and longer
questionnaires will be more demanding. However it should be at least 30 days in
commonly expected uses.
Before the Diary can be used, the user must ensure that it is fully charged.
You may charge it directly from the PC, from a mains power supply or from a
separate USB hub. It will typically take around 3-4 hours for the PRO-Diary to
be fully charged.
3.1 Charging the Diary from the PC
Connect the Diary to a free USB port of the PC and it will be automatically
charged from the PC. If you connect multiple Diaries to the same PC at the
same time, windows will attempt to find extra drivers. This will generate
windows/warnings which can be safely cancelled. You may only communicate
with a single Diary but as long as your PC is capable of it, several should charge
together.
Note that many PC’s have power saving functions which may shut down the USB
ports after a period of time; this will stop the diary charging until normal operation
is resumed. If you any issues related to charging or battery life, we recommend
using a mains power supply for charging to avoid this issue.
3.2 Charging the Diary using the Mains Power Supply
The PRO-Diary may be recharged using a mains adaptor with a standard USB
power output (the type often used for charging MP3 players or phones). Please
ensure any such adaptor is safety approved to EN60950-1 and EMI standard
EN55022 (also FCC part 15, Class B for the USA).
1. Select and fit appropriate ac input socket adaptor for country of use.
2. Plug the USB cable from the Diary directly into the USB socket on the
mains power supply adaptor.
3. The Diary will be automatically charged.
CamNtech can supply a suitable mains power supply if required –please contact
your local distributor.
3.3 Charging Several Diaries from a USB Hub
A USB extension hub may be more convenient to charge several PRO-Diary
devices at once without requiring a PC to be connected. This hub must be
powered by a separate mains adapter itself. CamNtech have tested the PRO-
Diary with a Belkin 4-Port Hub; other hubs with a separate mains adapter are
also likely to work, but CamNtech have not tested against them.
CamNtech can supply a suitable powered USB Hub if required –please contact
your local distributor.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 12
4 Creating and Editing Questionnaires
The Diary is set up using a combination of questions, questionnaires, and
schedules. It is easiest to familiarise yourself with these by exploring the
examples included with the PC software. After clicking on ‘Edit Questionnaires’
in the main menu, you will be presented with the quick view window, as shown in
the example below. You can explore this tree by right-clicking or double clicking
on various items to get an idea of how the system operates.
4.1 Basic Concepts It may be useful to clarify the terminology used in programming the Diary:
The diary presents the user with questions, either at specific times or when the
wearer requests it, and logs their answers. ‘questions’ are grouped together into
‘questionnaires’, and a ‘schedule’ instructs the diary when to offer each
questionnaire to the wearer.
A ‘question’ is the basic question presented to the wearer. It may be one of half
a dozen basic types, and includes the question itself and various optional
answers, or default settings for entering numbers, times, etc.
A ‘questionnaire’ is a sequence of questions. It may, optionally, include more
complicated instructions for skipping or jumping around in the sequence
depending on the answers to some questions.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 13
A ‘schedule’ is a list of schedule entries, each with a time and day, that tell the
diary to do something at that time. These may prompt the user, or simply make
available a user-requested questionnaire during a given period. They may also
apply to ‘every Tuesday’ or ‘every weekday’ rather than a specific day.
It will be easiest to set up your first test recording using one of the example
schedules provided, rather than having to create your own first.
4.2 Questions There are eight types of questions:
Multiple choice
Visual analogue
Enter a number
Enter a time
Just a message
List
Free Text
Likert Scale
All types include a main ‘question’ message, but a selection of different answer
mechanisms.
Multiple Choice For example: “Which fruit do you prefer?”, with possible answers of “Apples”,
“Oranges”, or “Other”.
Each question has 1-8 answers. The user positions the slider directly by tapping
or dragging, and the chosen answer is taken from this. The currently selected
answer is displayed at the bottom of the screen just above the slider bar. This is
the easiest way to question the user for up to around 5-6 answers, but above that
the list may be less fiddly to operate.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 14
Visual Analogue
For example: “How difficult is it to touch your toes?”, with the text “Easy” at the
left hand end of the slider bar and “Hard” at the right hand end.
The user positions the slider directly wherever they feel is appropriate between
the two ends. These ends are described by extra prompts, displayed just above
the slider bar. Ideally these should be short enough to fit at each end of the bar
with a gap in the middle. If it is longer than that it will be repeatedly scrolled
through, but this is not ideal.
Enter a Number For example: “What is your weight in kilograms?”, with the answer 53 displayed
below and a range up to 120.
The user drags the slider left or right to change the displayed number until they
are happy with the answer. They may also hold it at either end to scroll up or
down continuously.
Questions include a default value, decimal point position, and minimum and
maximum values. The decimal position specifies how many digits to include after
the decimal point. When you are editing an ‘Enter a number’ question, a
message will be displayed explaining the current meaning of your settings.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 15
Enter a Time
For example: “What time did you wake up this morning?”, with a time of “07:07”
displayed.
This functions similarly to ‘Enter a number’, except as the user drags the slider
the displayed time changes. They can move it until they are happy with the
displayed time, to an accuracy of 1 minute in 24 hours. Dragging off the
beginning or the end of the 24 hours results in the time wrapping round. The
Diary automatically starts with the current time when the question is asked.
Just a Message
For example: “Please take one blood pressure pill now” with no additional
information or prompt.
No extra parameters are needed, and no answer may be selected. The main
question is simply displayed in the middle of the screen until OK is pressed.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 16
List
For example: “What activity are you doing right now?” with a list of 20-30 activity
types to select from.
The Diary will display the question along with part of the list and a scrollbar to
indicate the user can scroll up or down the list by dragging their finger on the
slider. They may also hold their finger at either end for a period to scroll
continuously. This interface makes it much easier to present a larger number of
options, but is a little more complex for simple questions. It cannot be combined
with the large text setup option, as the screen of the Diary is not large enough.
Free Text
For example: “What did you just eat?” with the ability to type in any text as an
answer.
This is much slower to input than any other question type, but may be invaluable
if you really need to capture any possible answer to a single question.
The Diary will present the question along with a compressed alphabet. To select
a letter, place your finger approximately under that letter. The alphabet will begin
zooming in. Keep ‘steering’ your finger onto the correct letter as it zooms. Once
a box appears around the letter, you can release your finger and the letter will be
added to your answer. If you become confused when zooming in, simply release
your finger early to cancel. If you do enter an incorrect letter then simply select
the symbol to the left of the main alphabet, ‘DEL’, to delete the previous letter.
Because the free text entry is considerably slower and more difficult to operate
than other question types, you should only use it if necessary and if you believe
your target population will be comfortable with it. You will need to demonstrate
the free text entry to users before they can operate it.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 17
Likert Scale
For example: “How much do you like fruit?” with a scale of five answers.
This allows the user to select from a numerical scale, whilst also attaching a
small text description to each level. The text is displayed above the selected
number scale similarly to a multiple choice question, but with the addition of the
highlighted number display below.
4.3 Questionnaires A questionnaire can simply be a list of questions, in the order they should be
asked. The user will be asked the question at the top of the list first, and proceed
down the list one by one. This is all that is required if the user should be asked
all of the questions every time.
Simple questionnaires can be designed for the PRO-Diary by dragging questions
from the available list at the bottom of the window into the main list. The
questions can be placed directly where they are wanted in the sequence, or re-
ordered later by dragging them up or down the list. To remove a question, simply
drag it back onto the available list below.
It is also possible to design questionnaires with more complex sequencing once
the ‘advanced mode’ of the questionnaire editor is enabled. The question
sequence may then be modified by the user’s answers to a multiple choice
question. In this case, each alternative answer to the that question may have a
different following question number attached to it. This allows a ‘detail’ section to
be skipped if it is not relevant. This is described in more detail in section 4.8.
4.4 Schedules A schedule consists of a list of schedule entries, and an optional motion logging
configuration. Each schedule entry makes a questionnaire available at a certain
time or times, either prompting the user or simply being available on the menu
when the unit is woken. Every entry consists of a questionnaire, a day
designation, and time/type of entry.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 18
Day Designation Each entry is applied on certain days, chosen from the options below. Thus, any
single schedule entry may cause the Diary to act on many days throughout a
month’s recording rather than just one.
Every day
Every weekday
Every weekend day
Every Monday, Tuesday, … or Sunday
Day n of the recording (n from 1 to 30)
Time/Type of Entry Entries may be marked to prompt the user either at a fixed time, or at a randomly
allocated time within a certain period. This can be used to avoid consistently
prompting at exactly the same time every day, when the user might normally be
busy or begin to expect the prompt.
Entries may also be marked as ‘On request’ during a period of time. This means
that if the user wakes up the Diary at any time during that period then they can
choose to answer the questionnaire at that time, rather than waiting for an alarm.
They can then for example tell the Diary that they have woken up, eaten, or
intend to go to bed now.
Motion Logging Motion logging may be enabled as part of the schedule. This will cause the Diary
to record how much it is moved throughout the day, logging at a chosen “epoch”
interval of between 1 and 60 seconds. The resulting data can be used to monitor
sleep or daytime activity profiles, and analysed using the CamNtech MotionWare
software package.
The “MotionWatch-compatible counts” mode records movement in a measure
compatible with CamNtech “MotionWatch” products. This measure is well
validated for sleep monitoring, and has been used for daytime activity monitoring
also. In future updates an additional mode refined for activity intensity monitoring
may be introduced.
4.5 Locked and Unlocked Items
When an item has just been created (either a question, questionnaire or
schedule), it is considered to be ‘unlocked’. It will remain unlocked as you edit it
and combine it with other items. When you first use an item when setting up a
Diary, all the used items will be locked. This is necessary so that you have an
accurate record of exactly what went into setting up each Diary, in order to
interpret the data downloaded from it. If you subsequently decide you did not
want exactly the same setup, but a slight variant on it, you must right click and
‘Create Copy’ to create a new unlocked copy with a slightly different name. This
copy can then be modified. This allows you to keep track of your progress with
modified options, as each one is stored separately with a version number tagged
on the end of the item name.

PRO-Diary User Guide 1.2.1 10/02/15 Page 19
4.6 Creating a New Question Database
When you want to begin work on your own set of questions and schedules, you
can create a new database file to contain these. This way it will not be cluttered
up by the examples or any questions you have previously created for a different
purpose. To do this, use the ‘File -> New Question Database…’ option in the
quick view window. You can later switch between question databases using ‘File
-> Open Question Database…’. Your current database file is also shown in the
quick view window.
4.7 Diary Menu Customisation
There is an option in the File menu of the quick view window for menu
customisation. This allows you to change the text shown by the Diary during
common actions. You can use this to translate the menu text of the Diary to a
different language. You can also use it simply to clarify or slightly change the

4.8 Conditional Questionnaire Sequences
Simple questionnaires can be designed for the PRO-Diary by dragging questions
to and from the available list. The questions will always be asked one after the
other from the top to the bottom. They can be re-ordered by dragging them up or
down the list. However, it is also possible to design questionnaires with more
complex sequencing once the ‘advanced mode’ is enabled. This section
describes how to create and modify questionnaires with different sequencing.
Quick Summary
Select a question to see its answers
Each answer has an arrow showing which question will then follow if that
answer is chosen
Drag an answer to a different place in the questionnaire to create a link
for that answer
Do this for as many answers as you want to
If you want all answers to lead to the same place, drag the ‘- Drag here to
redirect all answers –‘ item
If you want to remove your links, so all answers just lead to the question
below, press the button for ‘Clear links from this question’
A sequence of questions can be marked for random ordering, but only if
there are no conditional links within them.
Note that:
You can only create a split in the sequence using a multiple choice
question, because only these have several different answers
Small arrows will be added to the side of the question list whenever an
answers leads anywhere except the question below
You can drag answers to just below the bottom of the list to direct straight
to the end of the questionnaire

Simple example (to omit some questions depending on a previous answer)
In the first example, we show how to make a part of the questionnaire optional,
depending on the answer to a question. First, drag all the questions you want
into the questionnaire. An example with four questions is shown below, with the
second question selected:
You can see the question ‘Have you experienced any pain today?’ is highlighted,
and a box is displayed to its right including the answers ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ from that
question. Both of these answers have arrows leading from them to the next
question in the main list. This means that giving either answer will lead to the
same following question, which is always the default. However, we would like to
omit the next question if the answer is ‘No’.
Move the mouse cursor over the ‘No’ answer, and press and hold the left mouse
button to drag it from here over the question list to the left. As you do this you
will see the mouse pointer change, and the target question is highlighted.
Release the mouse to ‘drop’ the answer on the question ‘Have you been very
active?’. The window will now look as follows.
