Software that helps people with Parkinson\u2019s disease track symptoms through their Apple Watch received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration, the company behind the tool announced today. It automatically tracks things like tremors, and it lets patients report symptoms and medication usage. <\/p>\n

Neurology company Rune Labs built the software, called StrivePD. It lets clinicians track their patients\u2019 progress and any changes in symptoms from the neurological disorder, which causes involuntary movements and difficulty with coordination. The passive data collection means patients\u2019 don\u2019t have to try and remember those fluctuations. It\u2019s also a rich source of data on how Parkinson\u2019s disease patients respond to various medications. <\/p>\n
