Apps for Parkinson's: Helping Patients Live Better
GLOBALSat Dec 28 2024
Millions of people globally deal with Parkinson's disease (PD), a condition where parts of the brain gradually stop working properly. Thankfully, mobile apps can make a real difference for these patients. They can help manage symptoms, boost daily life, and overall well-being. But, there's no go-to list of essential features these apps should have.
