ParkinSense. An affordable and convenient monitoring system for Parkinson's patients

Right now, ParkinSense requires the users to have a phone, but during later stages, we will explore other options that involve providing alternative hardware for patients to use. Furthermore, the mean age of Parkinson’s onset is 50 years old which is relatively young, so it is very likely that most patients would have a phone anyway.

ParkinSense would operate the same way except the caregiver would receive all notifications. They would be able to set the frequency of notifications as agreeable to both caregiver and patient.

Patients are typically able to schedule calls with specialists which can occur more frequently than seeing them in person. With proper coordination, a patient could send the specialist their report, view the report while on the phone, and allow the specialist to make a very well-informed recommendation without needing to rely on in person meetings or hazy recounts.

It will be primarily up to the patient and doctor to determine an appropriate frequency of sending summary reports to the doctor. We simply provide the materials that the patient would share.

It is relatively difficult to make a product that is technically accurate and affordable. We are able to do this since we have a unique team of specialists who understand Parkinson’s Disease very well and the needs of patients as well as dedicated software developers.

One of the goals of ParkinSense is to make Parkinson’s patients feel more informed with their prognosis, so by providing a summary report, we are making their status as transparent as possible for them. This report can also tell patients if they should try to schedule a call or appointment with specialists sooner rather than later.
