Did you know that the average person with Parkinson\u2019s 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 \u2013 that is a lot of time!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s growing effort to support people with Parkinson\u2019s navigating barriers to care, and digital solutions are seen as a next step in self-management. Parkinson Canada recognizes that there\u2019s a tremendous need to better support the 100,000+ Canadians living with Parkinson\u2019s. In pursuit of this goal, we <\/span>put out a call for research proposals to fund a digital health app that will empower people with Parkinson\u2019s to optimize their health. We are pleased to announce the funding was awarded to <\/span>Dr. Tiago Mestre, a Movement Disorder Specialist, and his team at The Ottawa Hospital who are developing a <\/span>digital health tool called <\/span>eCARE-PD.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

eCARE-PD is intended to empower people with Parkinson\u2019s in the management of their disease. Users can create healthcare goals, and then use the app to monitor <\/span>their symptoms and aspects of daily activity, like exercise and sleep. It also includes educational content on different topics related to Parkinson\u2019s. The aim is to help people meet their healthcare goals and understand trends in their disease, so they are more equipped to navigate their Parkinson\u2019s. One of the key strengths of the proposal is that Dr. Mestre\u2019s team involved people living with Parkinson\u2019s in the early stages of the app design and will continue to include the perspectives of people with lived experience in the ongoing refinement of the app, to ensure that it can be personalized to each individual and is something they will want to use long term.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The eCARE-PD app is currently in the development stages, but the goal is to make it available to the broader Parkinson\u2019s community, including people being seen at specialized Movement Disorder Clinics and individuals being cared for within their communities. The research team is in the planning stages for how the funding will be used in the next phase of the tool\u2019s development. While they are not recruiting participants at this time, Parkinson Canada will provide updates as to when opportunities to participate become available. Parkinson Canada is also proud to be working closely with the research team on the project and will be contributing our educational resources to help connect people with Parkinson\u2019s to the information they need to know to best manage their disease.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
