It’s like having a digital caregiver.
PD PAL is our free, simple-to-use, AI-powered digital app launching in late 2024 for people with Parkinson’s, with features for caregivers and family. Using proven, science-backed strategies tailored with a holistic and integrative approach to help you reduce anxiety, stress, and “off-times” while increasing “on-times”.
Intended Outcomes:
A 15% reduction in symptoms. We intend to decrease prevalent and disruptive Parkinson’s Disease (PD) related symptoms in order to help people with Parkinson’s experience more “on-times” with minimal or no symptoms and reduce “off-times” (periods when PD symptoms are present).
A 50% decrease in stress and anxiety.
How is our approach different?
In the listening phase, we heard over and over again how tired people with chronic diseases are of receiving heaps of advice but little real guidance. People with chronic diseases like Parkinson’s are able to find some help from other apps, newsletters, and websites, but those resources are spread out and not always built with accessibility in mind. We know what that feels like, so we created PD PAL™ to solve those challenges. Using science-based, proven techniques to increase “on-times” and decrease “off-times,” we take a 360-degree holistic, also known as integrative, approach. Our lifestyle app is a one-stop resource that has everything you need in one place. Beta testers also consider it a companion app. It’s like having a friend at your side 24/7 to guide you.
Explore some of the key features of soon-to-launch version 1 of our PD PAL™ app, with more features for caregivers and family being developed for version 2.

PD PAL App Features
Developed by a person with Parkinson’s for people with Parkinsons, the PD PAL App works around the challenges of typing by using LLM’s (the conversational aspect of A.I.) to allow patients to speak casually and conversationally when giving input or asking questions.
Provides multiple proven science-based approaches, including Mindful-Based Interventions, and guidance all in one place.
Calendar reminders for optimal med dosing and adherence and Mindful-Based Interventions.
Patient-reported outcomes empower your medical care team by providing them with comprehensive up-to-date data about your symptoms and medication adherence. This data can help individualize your care and help Parkinson’s research.
In the works for future versions: Multiple language ability, Apple iPhone integration, access to a robust informed community who knows what you are going through, caregiver and family-focused features, and more.
