Parkinson's LifeKit10.2.6 - App Store

Understand Your Parkinson’s. Take Control of Your Care. Privacy Guaranteed.

Living with Parkinson’s disease means living with constant change. Symptoms can vary from hour to hour. Medications may work differently from one day to the next. It can be difficult to remember exactly what happened between doctor appointments, making it challenging for you and your neurologist to see the complete picture.

Parkinson’s LifeKit was created to solve that problem.

Instead of relying on memory alone, LifeKit helps you document your Parkinson’s journey with quick, easy assessments and daily tracking. Record tremor, dexterity, voice, cognition, memory, mood, dyskinesia, medication phases, and other symptoms in just minutes a day. Over time, those small check-ins become meaningful trends that help you recognize patterns, understand how your symptoms are changing, and have more informed conversations with your healthcare team.

Parkinson's LifeKit also helps you stay on top of your treatment. Track every medication you take, schedule reminders so you never miss a dose, and visualize how your symptoms change throughout the day as medications begin working, reach their peak, and wear off. If you use Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), you can set alerts for when it's time to recharge your device.

Powerful built-in charts make it easy to see your recent progress at a glance. Whether you’re looking at the last week, month, or longer-term trends, your data is transformed into clear, easy-to-understand graphs. When it’s time for an appointment, you can export professional charts and your raw data, making it easier to share objective information with your neurologist, therapist, or research team.

The new Parkinson’s AI Assistant (iOS 27+) brings the latest advances in on-device Apple Intelligence to your care. More than a chatbot, it acts as a knowledgeable companion that understands Parkinson’s disease and helps you understand your own assessment data. Ask questions about symptoms, medications, treatments, DBS, or daily living. Receive clear, evidence-based explanations in plain language. The AI Assistant can also interpret your assessments, identify trends across multiple assessments, explain what changes may mean, and help connect information that might otherwise be difficult to recognize.

Because Parkinson’s Assistant runs securely on your device, your personal health information stays private. Your data never leaves your iPhone, giving you powerful AI assistance without compromising your privacy.

Your assessment data automatically syncs across your iPhone, iPad, and other devices using the same Apple Account, so your records are always available when you need them. The new companion Apple Watch app lets you view your overall health score, helping you stay connected to your care without reaching for your phone.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have lived with Parkinson’s for many years, Parkinson’s LifeKit helps replace uncertainty with understanding. It empowers you to recognize patterns, prepare for appointments, monitor treatments, and become an active partner in your own care.

Designed by someone living with Young Onset Parkinson’s and shaped with input from neurologists, therapists, caregivers, researchers, and the Parkinson’s community, Parkinson’s LifeKit is more than a symptom tracker. It’s a compassionate companion dedicated to helping you understand today, prepare for tomorrow, and live with greater confidence every day.

Private, intelligent support - built into Parkinson’s LifeKit for iOS 27 and later.

Managing Parkinson’s often means trying to connect the dots between symptoms, medications, daily activities, and test results. Parkinson’s Assistant helps make those connections by combining evidence-based knowledge about Parkinson’s disease with a secure understanding of your own data - all processed directly on your iPhone.

Ask questions about Parkinson’s

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson’s for years, you can ask natural-language questions like:

* Why do tremors seem worse in the morning?
* What is bradykinesia?
* What causes freezing of gait?
* How can exercise help Parkinson’s?
* What are the differences between “on” and “off” medication periods?
* What should I discuss with my neurologist?

Parkinson’s Assistant provides clear, educational, evidence-based explanations designed to help you better understand the disease and prepare for conversations with your healthcare team. It is intended to educate - not replace medical advice.

Turn your data into meaningful insights

Collecting health data is valuable - but understanding it is even more important.

Parkinson’s Assistant analyzes the information you’ve recorded in Parkinson’s LifeKit and explains what it may indicate in straightforward language.

* Improvements in tap-test performance over the past month
* Changes in tremor severity
* Voice strength trends
* Emotional well-being patterns
* Memory and cognitive performance
* Medication phase changes

It explains these observations factually, helping you understand what changed over time without drawing unsupported medical conclusions.

Find patterns across your tests

One of the most powerful capabilities of Parkinson’s Assistant is its ability to look across multiple types of information at once.

Rather than treating each test independently, it can identify relationships between your data, such as:

* Whether improvements in medication timing are associated with better tap-test performance.
* Whether increased tremor tends to occur on days with lower voice volume.
* Whether emotional well-being scores appear to rise alongside increased physical activity.
* Whether cognitive performance changes during different medication phases.
* Whether symptoms are becoming more stable - or more variable - over weeks or months.

These cross-correlations can help reveal trends that are difficult to notice by looking at individual charts alone.

---

Personalized summaries

Instead of reviewing dozens of charts individually, you can simply ask:

* “How have I been doing this month?”
* “What’s changed since my last medication adjustment?”
* “Which symptoms are improving?”
* “Are any of my tests getting worse?”
* “What trends should I pay attention to?”

The assistant summarizes your data in plain language, helping you focus on the changes that may be most meaningful.

Completely private. Completely on your device.

Privacy is fundamental to Parkinson’s Assistant.

With iOS 27 and later, all analysis is performed on-device using Apple’s on-device AI capabilities.

That means:

* Your Parkinson’s LifeKit data never leaves your iPhone.
* Your health information is processed securely on your device.
* No personal test results are sent to external AI services.
* Your conversations remain private.
* Your data stays under your control.

Because everything runs locally, you benefit from intelligent analysis without sacrificing privacy.

All of the updates are backwards compatible. Everything just looks better, works better, and with a lot of new features! 10.0.0 Apr 26 We've been collecting your feedback for over a year and we are implementing some changes.

This update is only for major bug fixes, but we are working hard to integrate your feedback and introduce new features you will find useful! 5.2 11/11/2025 Our most streamlined version ever. We have worked over the years on creating the best Parkinson's health tracker on the market. We were first in many areas, and continue to innovate for our customers. May now be eligible for insurance reimbursement (check your coverage). 5.0 02/10/2024 We have switched to a sponsorship model. Nick Pernisco, who wrote this app, and is the best-selling Parkinson's Warrior series of books, has sponsored the app, while keeping his high standards for data privacy and control. You will now see a splash screen when the app launches, and when you tap on the "Education" tab at the bottom. This is NOT an ad that collects your data. Far from it. It is there for your convenience, and you can ignore it and continue using the app normally if you don't care for the books.

We hope this new sponsorship model will provide us with the resources necessary to continue growing the app for years to come! 4.8 09/09/2023 Wow, after a short hiatus, and because we know so many people depend on Parkinson's LifeKit, we are back with a boatload of bug fixes and app improvements.
