Parkinson’s tracker apps aren’t built for Parkinson’s patients.

Parkinson’s (PD) is a movement disorder, meaning patients have:

• tremors in their hands
• rigid and slow movements

in addition to dementia and cognitive impairment.

So it’s important that patients track their sleep, medication adherence, symptoms, etc. so clinicians know how to adjust their treatment to fully support rehabilitation.

but current apps: sterile and condensed UI with small buttons, complex menus and nav, low incentive…are not ideal. That’s why up to 75% of patients don’t use their tracking app more than 10 times after first downloading.

my app solution:

a gamified PD tracker that prioritizes:

• accessible UI/UX
• calming + aesthetic graphics
• incentive

so far we’ve got:

• swiping instead of menus
• cat garden/farm concept
• slightly punitive streak system

currently working on getting in contact with a clinician for opinions + getting started on xcode.
