Apps

Are there other apps for PD patients?

[johntPM]

Four of my free laptop apps for PwP that I'd like to recommend are:

Levodopa Equivalent Dose Calculator. You enter your drugs and doses. Then, using published conversion data (for instance, between levodopa and ropinirole), the app produces a daily total.

Pharmacokinetic graphing tool. You enter your drugs, doses and times. Then, using published data, the app draws a graph of how your levodopa equivalent plasma levels vary during the day.

Side to side tap test app. It gives an objective measure of your bradykinesia.

PDMeasure. This app stores your data, including your tap test results. The data, which is held anonymously, is available for anyone to use.

If anyone would like to collaborate with me in producing free apps for PwP, please get in touch.

John, how can we download the apps?

[johntPM]

Joanne, the non-technical answer is that all that you need to do is to click on the link, enter the data, and press Start, or whatever. (The technical answer is that when you click on a link, you download a HTML file containing both the text and a JavaScript program.)
