  • Parkinson’s accessible with ‘tapping not typing’ principles.

Lows

  • Notification sounds may not appeal to all and cannot be changed.
  • Can track your symptoms but can’t give you recommendations on how to manage your symptoms better.
  • Offers limited insights.

Questions

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

Yes. The app’s creator Kuhan Pushparatnam was a member of the Tech Guide Steering Group in 2024-5, but was not present for any discussions that directly involved the Parkinson’s ON app.

The app was created independently by Kuhan. In 2024, Parkinson’s UK supported further development of the app and it now carries a “powered by Parkinson’s UK” message. This funding decision was independent of Kuhan’s role in the Tech Guide, and did not affect our review.

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.
