People who take an active role in managing their Parkinson’s often experience better symptom control, fewer hospital visits, stronger communication with their care teams, and an overall higher quality of life. Yet remembering every symptom, fluctuation, or side effect between clinic visits can be nearly impossible. That’s where StrivePD helps – by capturing how you’re doing each day and turning it into clear, useful insights.
Managing Parkinson’s is rarely linear. It’s a daily balance between symptoms, medications, movement, and moments of uncertainty. From tracking how you feel to staying active and advocating for the right care, it can sometimes feel like your condition is in control – not you.
Meet StrivePD: Your Care Companion Tool for Parkinson’s
StrivePD is a free iPhone and Apple Watch app that helps you track your medications, symptoms, physical activity, and sleep, all in one place. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your journey, StrivePD helps you see what’s happening beyond the clinic so you can take a more active role in your care.
“Beyond exercise, StrivePD has been an integral part of my journey after hearing about the free app from my movement disorders neurologist. Tracking my meds and meals, and recording my tremor have improved my life immensely,” said Stacee Hawkins, Parkinson’s Advocate and StrivePD user.
With quick logging, voice commands, and passive data collection, StrivePD tracks:
– Tremor and dyskinesia: passively captured via Apple Watch (FDA-cleared)
– Mobility metrics like walking speed and step length
– Activity and exercise including heart rate zones and workouts
– Sleep patterns and medication adherence
– Non-motor symptoms such as mood, fatigue, constipation, and rigidity
Track Your Progress
Every month, you’ll receive a personalized report highlighting your progress, patterns, and AI-powered summaries that make it easy to share with your care team. See how your physical activity, medication timing, and symptoms all correlate with each other in real time.
“StrivePD helps me visualize that pattern. I can spot when I’m likely to feel dyskinetic or foggy and adjust accordingly. It’s helped me become more proactive instead of reactive,” said Kevin Krejci, Parkinson’s Advocate and StrivePD user.
Join Research that’s Shaping Parkinson’s Care
Many people with Parkinson’s, especially those who are newly diagnosed or live far from specialty centers, don’t have consistent access to movement disorder experts or to information about clinical research. StrivePD helps close that gap. The app makes it simple to learn about and join studies that may be right for you, regardless of where you live. You’ll only see opportunities that match your condition and stage, and a member of the StrivePD team will guide you through the process.
Current opportunities include:
– Dyskinesia Insight Network: share real-world movement data with your clinician to improve treatment.
– PDGene Trial: a Parkinson’s Foundation study offering free genetic testing and counseling for eligible participants.
– To see if you are eligible for any other clinical trials, fill out this short form.
“When I was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s, I had no idea a clinical trial was an option for me. I was already overwhelmed with the idea of being diagnosed with this disease, and thought I immediately needed to go on medications for my symptoms. My clinical team told me about StrivePD and how I may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial. Once I went through onboarding, I was immediately contacted by the team to confirm eligibility for a clinical trial. It was quick and easy – the team was super transparent. I am glad I am able to participate in a clinical trial that will help advance new treatments for myself and others like me,” said Verial Whitten, Parkinson’s advocate and StrivePD user.
