Parkinsons App DescriptionmPower is a personal tool and research instrument to track symptoms of Parkinson disease.Sage Bionetworks in collaboration with University of Rochester and Beijing Institute of Geriatrics welcomes you to use mPower to track your symptoms and take part in the world's largest and most comprehensive study of this disease. Living with Parkinson disease means coping with symptoms that change daily. Yet these daily changes are not tracked frequently enough. mPower helps you track your symptoms by recording activities using sensors in your phone. These activities include a memory game, finger tapping, speaking, and walking. As a research instrument, activity and survey data from your phone are anonymously combined with data from many other participants to fuel Parkinson research at a scale never before possible. Together we are taking a bold first step to establish a partnership between you and Parkinson researchers in ways that will help us learn from one another. If you are above 18 years of age, with or without Parkinson disease, please install mPower, and lets work together to better understand this disease.This app will read and/or write data from Apple's Health App with your permission.Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
