Why We’re Raving About the PD Buddy App

PD Buddy, from Good Vibes Technologies, is more than just an app—it’s a thoughtfully designed digital companion making waves in the Parkinson’s community. Inspired by the real-life journey of its founder, Beatrice, whose husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s five years ago, this app distils scientific research into practical daily tools .

Scientifically-Inspired Daily Routines

Built with guidance from neuroscientists, PD Buddy offers routines covering physical, brain, voice, and hand exercises, plus meditation and nutrition tips. Earn points for completed tasks and stay motivated with friendly competition via a leaderboard.

Smart Symptom Tracking & AI Guidance

Record your meds, supplements, side effects and symptoms—all in one place. The integrated AI assistant then offers personalised insights to help you manage daily ups and downs more effectively.

Medication Reminders

Never miss a dose again. PD Buddy let’s you set reminders for medications and supplements, with plans to soon enable one-click sharing of your schedule with caregivers or doctors.

Caregiver Integration

Invite carers to access a tailored dashboard so they can support your routines, track symptoms, and stay in sync—without needing to ask you every time how you’re doing.

Truly Supportive Community

Whether it’s joining group chats, meeting local buddies, or browsing a global map of users, PD Buddy connects you with others facing similar challenges. The "What Works" feature lets users share proven strategies and tools for everyday symptom management.

Why Tracking Matters

Tracking is the cornerstone of personalised Parkinson’s management:

• Data-driven insight – See trends in symptoms, responses to interventions like MacuDopa, exercise or dietary changes.

• Better conversations – Bring hard data to MD appointments instead of vague recollections.

• Empowerment through self-awareness – Knowing what helps makes you an active participant in your care.

• Adapt & evolve – Adjust treatments based on actual results, not hunches.

PD Buddy makes this whole process simple, visually engaging, and meaningful, eliminating the tediousness of traditional symptom diaries.

The Power of Community

You’re not just using an app—you’re joining a worldwide group of PD Buddies.Hip-high-five moments include:

• Swapping routines that really work

• Getting tips based on shared experiences

• Attending events or group video meetups

• Feeling connected on days when PD feels isolating

  
  

Users consistently report that this connection, combined with actionable routine tracking, has a positive impact:

“After a few weeks, I can see the difference, and my symptoms are stable.” — Michel, Oxford
