Balance

Sway measures stability using the built-in motion sensors of any mobile device or tablet to quantify postural sway. While the device is pressed against the chest, a proprietary motion analysis algorithm calculates stability and provides an easy to understand value on a 100 point scale with 100 being completely stable and 0 being unstable.
