We received information from Julie Jones (who gave the Edinburgh Parkinson’s Lecture 2022)
Julie asked us to share news of an important project currently underway – the development of Parkinson’s Move, a brand-new app designed to help people living with Parkinson’s live well, stay active, and access trusted advice, all in one place.
The app is being co-developed by a team with both lived and professional experience of Parkinson’s:
- Jo Holland – living with Parkinson’s
- Dr Mark Holland – sport psychologist
- Dr Julie Jones – physiotherapist passionate about Parkinson’s care
The development of this app is being kindly supported by Parkinson’s UK.
One of the app’s special features will be a “Life Hacks” section – a space to share simple tips and practical strategies that make everyday life easier. This could be anything from a clever way of putting on a coat, to managing daily tasks, or staying motivated with exercise.
And they would love to hear from people. Contributions are welcome from both the Parkinson’s community and healthcare professionals. They feel ideas and experiences from a wide range of sources could make a real difference.
Please use this link to add your life hack
If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with Julie directly at j.c.jones@rgu.ac.uk.
