PD Buddy is widely recognised as the most comprehensive daily management app for people with Parkinson's, trusted by over 20,000 users globally. Inspired by scientific research and designed together with people living with the condition, it brings symptom tracking, medication reminders, personalised daily routines, wearable integration, and health reports together in one free mobile application for iOS and Android.
PD Buddy connects directly with the Apple Watch and the dedicated Apple Movement Disorder tracking API to objectively monitor tremors and dyskinesia throughout the day. In addition to Apple Watch, the app syncs effortlessly with Fitbit, Oura Ring, and smartphone health metrics to turn your daily movement and sleep numbers into clear, easy to read charts.
You can generate a Personalised Health Report inside the PD Buddy app whenever you need it and for any timeframe that suits your upcoming medical consultation. The app combines your logged routines, medications, supplements, symptoms, and continuous wearable data into clear visual charts and an evidence based pre visit agenda, ensuring you walk into your neurologist or GP appointment prepared and in the driving seat of your care.
Yes, PD Buddy provides free daily routines recommended by neuroscientists and shaped by over 20,000 people living with Parkinson's around the world. Rather than relying on a single type of activity, the app guides you through a holistic daily schedule that includes physical, voice, hand, and brain exercises alongside meditation, nutrition tips, and healthy recipes to help slow progression and improve daily quality of life.
PD Buddy includes a dedicated medication and supplement tracker designed specifically for the complex timing schedules required when managing Parkinson's. You can set custom notifications so you never miss a dose, and correlate your medication times directly with your daily symptom logs to see how your treatments are working over time.

It is the only platform that combines neuroscientist backed daily routines, automatic Apple Watch and Oura Ring wearable tracking, an active community chat, and downloadable Personalised Health Reports in one place.
