Parkinson's Disease
In-depth articles on Parkinson's disease: early signs, tracking tremor and movement, and using at-home data to make clinic visits count.
Parkinson's disease is a slow-moving condition. Most of what changes between neurology appointments, such as a tremor that is worse this week, a walking pattern that has quietly shifted, or a good day followed by a bad one, is invisible to a clinician who only sees a person for twenty minutes twice a year. This collection is written for people living with Parkinson's and the family members who support them. Each article focuses on something practical: what the early signs actually look like, how to describe them in a way a specialist can act on, and how a simple tracking habit at home can turn scattered observations into a trend line. Every article on this page points back to our Parkinson's disease overview, cites the neurological and movement-disorder sources it draws from, and links to the relevant guided assessments in the Alumina Health app: tremor and hand control, tapping and coordination, walking and movement, and reaction time. Nothing here is diagnostic. Everything here is written to help a person notice, log, and communicate what is changing.
