078 Strive for Symptom Objectivity with This Tool

This is the fourth and final episode in our tech series. We could probably highlight many more innovative ideas and companies. It is a very exciting time for the use of technology in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

In this episode, we talk with a company whose product, StrivePD, is really cool and very useful. It is an app which communicates with the Apple Watch to monitor your motor symptoms throughout the day. You can monitor your symptoms, set medication reminders, and even share your progress with your care team using the app. Providing your neurologist with direct access to daily logs of your symptoms and medication adherence allows them to make appropriate adjustments to your care, and help you improve your well-being. The data from the Apple Watch is combined with data you input directly on the app like medications, how you feel and timing of symptoms. With this data, your care team will be able to help you manage your Parkinson's better.

I also speak with a person with Parkinson's about their experience using the StrivePD app. 

Enjoy!
