Toronto, ON (April 20, 2021)<\/strong> \u2014 As a trusted partner and advisor for Canadians with Parkinson\u2019s, Parkinson Canada has been focusing on the importance of proper medication management when speaking with people impacted by Parkinson\u2019s and healthcare professionals. The primary message of its ACT on Time\u00ae campaign is that people with Parkinson\u2019s disease need to get their medication on time, at home, in an emergency room, in a long-term care facility, every time.<\/p>\n

Given the individual nature of Parkinson\u2019s and unique medication regimens, adherence to one\u2019s personal schedule is critical to achieving good health outcomes and to living well with the disease. That\u2019s why Parkinson Canada is proud to partner with Catalyst to increase awareness of digital health tools<\/a> that help Canadians with Parkinson\u2019s manage the timing and complexity of their medications.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2017 the first Canadian\u2014a grandfather with Parkinson\u2019s disease\u2014welcomed our spencer medication dispenser into his home. Since then, we proudly work with amazing pharmacists, caregivers, and patients to help medications be taken as prescribed. Catalyst is excited to partner Parkinson Canada which embodies the goal of living well with Parkinson\u2019s,\u201d says Shane Bishop,<\/strong> CEO of Catalyst.<\/p>\n

Catalyst has always focused on improving peoples lives through medication management. Our digital health tools are life-changing and make it possible for people with Parkinson\u2019s Disease to receive care from their pharmacist like never before. The spencer<\/a> in-home medication dispenser manages medication adherence and connects patients, caregivers and pharmacists via notifications and two-way communication. MyMedTimes <\/a>turns mobile phones into powerful medication managers, guiding which medications to take and when, allowing pharmacists to monitor and to intervene as necessary.<\/p>\n

Through this partnership, Catalyst has made a commitment to share a percentage of proceeds from these digital health tools and to support Parkinson Canada and the Parkinson Canada SuperWalk annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Parkinson Canada we are focused on building partnerships with organizations across the Parkinson\u2019s space, and Catalyst presents such a strong alignment for us,\u201d says Karen Lee, President & CEO of Parkinson Canada. \u201cTheir pharmacy-programmed medication reminder and dispensing tools help people with Parkinson\u2019s get their medications on time, every time. Through this partnership we\u2019ll be promoting the use of spencer and MyMedTimes, but more than that we\u2019ll be able to drive home the message to people with Parkinson\u2019s and healthcare providers alike that medications on time, every time are a priority for Canadians with Parkinson\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Parkinson\u2019s Disease<\/h2>\n

Parkinson\u2019s affects over 100,000 Canadians, a number expected to increase substantially in the coming years, with 25 Canadians diagnosed each day<\/strong>. That means that every hour, of every day, another Canadian hears the words: \u201cYou have Parkinson\u2019s disease.\u201d For people newly diagnosed, Parkinson Canada SuperWalk is a great opportunity to meet others living with the disease, their families, and to begin to build a supportive network.<\/p>\n

Continued support is needed in order to fund research to find a cure. Since 1981, the generosity of its donors has enabled Parkinson Canada to invest more than $30 million in over 580 research projects.<\/p>\n

Parkinson Canada is a founding partner with Brain Canada, of the Canadian Open Parkinson Network (C-OPN), which gives investigators access to unprecedented data and supports large scale, multidisciplinary research projects that would not be possible at a single research site.<\/p>\n
