“…In the third experiment, a smart device version of the test ("TapPD" developed by uMotif Limited for Apple [Cupertino, CA] iPhone and iPad devices) was used in addition to the keyboard test. 17,18 The same device was used for all participants. The participants used their index finger to alternately tap 2 target areas on the screen as fast and as accurately as possible for a period of 30 seconds.…”

Background The BRadykinesia Akinesia INcoordination (BRAIN) tap test is an online keyboard tapping task that has been previously validated to assess upper limb motor function in Parkinson's disease (PD). Objectives To develop a new parameter that detects a sequence effect and to reliably distinguish between PD patients on and off medication. In addition, we sought to validate a mobile version of the test for use on smartphones and tablet devices. Methods The BRAIN test scores in 61 patients with PD and 93 healthy controls were compared. A range of established parameters captured number and accuracy of alternate taps. The new velocity score recorded the intertap speed. Decrement in the velocity score was used as a marker for the sequence effect. In the validation phase, 19 PD patients and 19 controls were tested using different hardware including mobile devices. Results Quantified slopes from the velocity score demonstrated bradykinesia (sequence effect) in PD patients (slope cut‐off −0.002) with 58% sensitivity and 81% specificity (discovery phase of the study) and 65% sensitivity and 88% specificity (validation phase). All BRAIN test parameters differentiated between on and off medication states in PD. Differentiation between PD patients and controls was possible on all hardware versions of the test. Conclusion The BRAIN tap test is a simple, user‐friendly, and free‐to‐use tool for the assessment of upper limb motor dysfunction in PD, which now includes a measure of bradykinesia.

“…Meanwhile, patients can upload their information to the doctor through the application platform, strengthen their interaction with the doctor, adjust the medication plan in time, and strengthen the patient's self-management. The medication reminder function can increase medication compliance (19,32). Hu et al (19) also confirmed this point through their research in which 204 individuals with PD aged 52-87 were questioned about their attitudes toward self-management using smartphone applications, and the results were positive.…”

“…However, their research also found that elderly people with high education and young people are more likely to accept smartphone applications for self-management. Furthermore, a multicenter randomized controlled trial by Lakshminarayana et al (32) described the positive effects of a 16-week smartphone application use on short-term self-reported medication compliance and quality of clinical consultation in individuals with PD.…”

These programs can help doctors monitor and evaluate the symptoms of PD and also support the management of the individuals' daily life, including interacting with doctors, arranging their daily activities or making appointments, rehabilitation training, and managing medication (32). Therefore, the purpose of this article is to discuss the potential of smartphone applications for the management of PD in a family setting.…”

“…A few smartphone applications have been developed to manage home-based medication and rehabilitation training for PD in China. An expert team composed of occupational therapists, graphic designers, and information technology experts has developed a mobile application called Care-PD, which has been tested and explored in reality (23). Based on previous experience, we have updated this application.…”

As the percentage of the aging population increases, the incidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) in China is increasing year by year. PD is both a public health and social problem facing the government and society as a whole. Persons with PD need reasonable medication management and rehabilitation strategies after a clear diagnosis. A proper home care plan can effectively slow the progression of PD. However, people with PD lack an effective way to manage their illnesses and cannot achieve the recommended clinical path in a family environment. Medication management, condition monitoring, and rehabilitation training are important components of the home care plan for PD. Persons with PD require strategies that delay the development of the disease and to adhere to treatment, which would contribute to improving their quality of life. Thus, we developed a small program called Care-PD to build a medicine management and service platform for PD. The development of Care-PD is a multi-dimensional model designed for PD, which is funded by the National Key R&D Program of China (No. 2018YFC1314700), and includes services such as medication management, symptom monitoring, professional counseling, home life, and community communication. Care-PD can become a key technology that increases the compliance of persons with PD with home care plans and improve measures to control the disease. In this article, we describe the medication management and services for PD based on the Care-PD program and its structure. The small program will improve the adverse conditions faced by persons with PD by combining the latest technology and clinical approaches. Meanwhile, we describe a verification strategy to evaluate the effectiveness of the Care-PD program as a comprehensive management strategy for PD.
