Turnto

Turnto is an app designed to help people living with Parkinson’s and other conditions to uncover new daily insights into their conditions, including the latest medical breakthroughs, treatments and tips. 

The app invites you to join a community (in our case, Parkinson’s). You can then ‘follow’ relevant tags to record the topics you’re interested in and curate your feed, with featured topics including nutrition, newly diagnosed health journeys and new technologies, to name a few. There’s also the Daily Drop which tells you what’s new each day in as little as five minutes. 

Turnto app relies on generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology to track down and share important content, while community members can share their own insights in the app. The idea is to gather a large number of sources, including the latest research papers, treatment stories and self-care tips, in one central hub. 

Alongside its Parkinson’s community, Turnto has built communities for Long Covid, ME/CFS and Cerebral Palsy. Other conditions, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injury (SCI), will be added in the future. The app was initially developed by an Australian health-tech startup after the company’s founder wanted to find more information to help their son living with a rare type of Cerebral Palsy.
