The BeechBand App is a smartwatch app designed to mimic the functionality of the BeechBand by producing gentle, rhythmic vibrations on the wrist.

The company claims the app can help improve a range of Parkinson’s and non-Parkinson’s symptoms, including gait disturbances, speech difficulties, tics and essential tremor.

The app isn’t exactly the same as the BeechBand device. The vibrations aren’t as powerful, which the company says makes it better suited to less intense symptoms.

Questions

Is there any connection between BeechBand and Parkinson’s UK?

Yes. In 2024, Parkinson’s UK announced that it was investing in the BeechBand to help refine to product. BeechBand also donated 6 free devices to support our panel review, and we passed these directly to the reviewers.

We have a series of policies and practices in place to make sure that our review is independent of any existing relationship between our organisations or staff. If you’d like to find out more about this, you can read about it in our transparency statement.
