ParkUC - Tracking Parkinson's with personalized insight
Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease which affects one million people in the United States and six million people worldwide. This disease impacts the quality of life through rigidity, stiffness, tremors, and other symptoms, and despite having no known cure, there are several effective medical treatments that can be implemented. The goal of this project is to create a mobile application that improves the quality of life for Parkinson’s patients by tracking symptom progression and recommending treatment options. The completed application includes a medication tracker, Parkinsons detection tests, and unintrusive, passive symptom tracking. Data collected on the user’s symptoms are presented in graphs, paired with data analysis to show the users’ health trends and specialized treatment recommendations. The application also features accessibility features for users with tremors or other difficulties using mobile devices, such as voice-activated commands.
