mPower

A Parkinson Disease Research Study

How can we together better manage the symptoms of Parkinson disease?

Living with Parkinson disease means coping with symptoms that change daily. Yet these daily changes are not tracked frequently enough. Parkinson mPower is a personal tool and research instrument to track symptoms of Parkinson disease, review trends and share this information with researchers.


Sage Bionetworks, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization in collaboration with University of Rochester welcomes you to use Parkinson mPower to track your symptoms and take part in the world's largest and most comprehensive study of this disease.

The Parkinson mPower app uses questionnaires, sensor data from your phone and optional wearable device data to help you track your condition 24x7.

Key Features:

● Innovative activity-based measurements of Parkinson symptoms that include a memory game, finger tapping, voice recording, and walking.

● Share insights and partner with researchers

● Get educated about symptom variations

● Import daily physical activity measurement though Apple Health app

Eligibility:

To join this study you need to:

• Be 18 or older

• Have Parkinson disease or not (be a control).

• Be a U.S. resident

• Have a personal iPhone 4S or newer running iOS 8.0 or above and is compatible with latest generation iPod touch.
