[Discussion] I made an app to help people with Parkinson’s
Hello everyone, I am a 16 student who made this app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/medicue/id1563252653 . the goal of the app is to help people walk through auditory cueing. It’s a pretty simple. I plan to add more features (exercise tutorials, daily personal task tracker). I was inspired to make the app after seeing my grandmother suffer with Parkinsons. Unfortunately, she passed away 2 years ago. This is super simple and only my starting point and I would appreciate it if you guys could give me some feedback. Also please suggest any features you’d like to see on there. Please check it out if you get a chance. God bless all of you 😊
Description : Medicue was designed to help Parkinson's Disease patients synchronize their motor movements and smooth their gait. Although the app was designed for Parkinson's patients, it may also be beneficial to those trying to improve their gait and coordination, let that be stroke patients, Huntington's disease patients, and others. The app does so through audio cueing, which allows movement to be synchronized with sound. This rhythm allows patients to match their gait or movements with the rhythm. Our app has two different audio cueing rhythms: gravel and cueing beats. Gravel features a steady rhythm of the sound of walking on gravel, and cueing beats features a steady rhythm of the sound of beats. Both audio cueing rhythms have five different speed settings.
