Parky 4 Parkinson’s Patient Buddy

Parky iPhone & Apple Watch App

Parky is a doctor prescribed digital health tool to improve the management of Parkinson's disease by tracking motor symptoms, improving medication adherence, and promoting physical activity. It is a tool for sharing meaningful and reliable data between patients and medical professionals regarding the course of the disease.

  • Continuous tracking of tremor and dyskinesia episodes
  • 7/24 symptom reporting
  • Medicine reminders and adherence monitoring

How it Works?

Parky is a prescription remote patient monitoring app. Once it is activated, all patients have to do is wear their Apple Watch. Parky continuously monitors the motor fluctuations such as tremors and dyskinesia. It includes a medication reminder module to notify the patients and collect their input on adherence. HCPs can view weekly and monthly symptom profile reports via Parky HCP Portal.

Parky leverages the Movement Disorder API, a tool developed by Apple. The API was validated in a study of 343 participants, including longitudinal tracking of 225 participants for up to six months, and used the clinical gold standard (MDS-UPDRS) as a reference. Details of the study were published in Science Translational Medicine.
