Our Mobile Health, in collaboration with Parkinson's UK, is working to develop a list of recommended digital health apps and devices tailored for people living with Parkinson’s disease. These tools are designed to help patients track their symptoms and better manage their condition on a daily basis. Each app or device on the list will be independently evaluated by experts and tested by real users to ensure quality, safety, and effectiveness.
According to reports, Our Mobile Health will review these apps through a structured quality assurance process that focuses on patient safety, data privacy, and clinical effectiveness. This initiative aims to provide reliable digital solutions that can truly make a difference in the lives of those affected by Parkinson’s.
Julie Bretland, founder and CEO of Our Mobile Health, emphasized that Parkinson’s UK is committed to addressing the evolving needs of patients by offering digital health tools that provide flexible and accessible support. “These tools empower patients to take control of their health anytime, anywhere,†she said.
As part of the program, Parkinson’s UK will act as a user group, testing and evaluating the digital tools before they are recommended. Julie Dodd, director of digital transformation and communications at Parkinson’s UK, noted that there has been a significant increase in inquiries about apps and devices related to Parkinson’s. “We want to ensure that patients have access to trusted and effective solutions,†she added.
In addition to expert evaluation, the Parkinson’s UK user team will provide real-world feedback and guidance to other users, ensuring that the recommendations are both practical and user-friendly. This collaborative approach helps bridge the gap between developers and patients, creating more meaningful and impactful digital health solutions.
Emma Lawton, Parkinson’s UK’s installation and application strategist, was involved in the production of the BBC2 documentary "Big Life Fix" in 2016. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s, Emma had to leave her career as a graphic designer. In response, Microsoft developed the Emma Watch, a wearable device that helps her write and draw clearly by using vibration motors to counteract tremors and stabilize her hand.
The Emma Watch works by delivering targeted vibrations to the brain, helping to reduce the impact of excessive neural signals that cause shaking. With this device, individuals with Parkinson’s can draw straight lines and maintain better control over their movements.
Lawton shared that while medical advancements in treating Parkinson’s have been limited over the past 50 years, there is now a growing hope among patients that technology can play a bigger role in managing the condition. “People are looking for innovative tools to improve their quality of life,†she said. “This partnership represents a step forward in making that possible.â€
