eCARE-PD - a new digital tool for Canadians living with Parkinson’s

Did you know that the average person with Parkinson’s only sees their doctor once or twice a year? This means that for every one hour of care, a person has 8,765 hours of self-management annually - that is a lot of time! Digital health solutions have the potential to support Parkinson’s self-management during the in-between moments around doctor visits.
eCARE-PD is an upcoming digital health app developed to address the unique needs of Canadians living with Parkinson’s. It will help users to stay connected to community supports and catalogue information related to their Parkinson’s journey through symptom tracking, day-to-day activity monitoring, and educational content for self-care.
Parkinson Canada is thrilled to support the development of the eCARE-PD app and to work alongside the research team to share this tool with Canadians with Parkinson’s when it becomes available.
