Getting started
Once installed, double-click PD Tracker to launch it. A console window will appear with your connection details:
On this computer: Open your web browser and go to the address shown next to “This computer,” usually http://localhost:8000
On a tablet or phone: Connect to the same WiFi network as your computer, then open the browser on your tablet and go to the address shown next to “Tablet/phone”. This lets a caregiver log symptoms from a tablet while the computer handles storage and AI analysis.
Keep the console window open while using the app. Closing it will stop PD Tracker.
What it does
Voice-first symptom logging
Tap the mic and talk. PD affects fine motor control, so typing shouldn't be required. Complete a check-in in under two minutes.
Compact Quick Check-in
Ten symptom tiles, wellbeing, and toggles in one dense grid. Everything visible without scrolling, so a check-in takes seconds.
Flexible medication scheduling
Schedule doses by interval or by flexible cues like bedtime, with meals, or as needed. Track on-time, early, late, and missed doses, and see how long each medication's effect lasts.
AI-powered clinical reports
One click produces an executive summary, symptom trends, wearing-off insights, and cross-correlation patterns between medications, meals, sleep, and symptoms. Includes a "Since Last Visit" section and a Doctor's Notes area. Built for the 15-minute neurologist visit.
Appointment tracking
Log neurologist visits with notes and action items. The dashboard counts down to the next appointment, and reports highlight what changed since the last one.
Meal logging with favorites
Track protein intake to monitor levodopa interactions. Save frequent meals as favorites for one-tap logging at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Trends visualization
Symptom lines, medication dose markers, and meal markers on one interactive chart. Toggle individual symptoms on or off, and switch between day, week, and month views.
Video evidence recording
Capture tremor episodes, freezing, or dyskinesia from any page. Videos attach to check-ins and incidents, giving doctors context that numbers alone can't show.
Fully offline
Everything runs on your own computer. No accounts, no cloud, no internet required. Your family's health information stays with your family.
USB export for doctor handoff
Package the report and videos into a zip file. Extract it onto a USB stick, hand it to the neurologist, and they open it in any browser.
Free and open source
Released under GPL v3. The Windows installer is upgrade-safe, so updates won't disturb your existing data.
PD Tracker is not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose conditions, or recommend treatments. Always consult your healthcare provider.
See it in action
Built by a caregiver
I built this for my mom when she was diagnosed with Parkinson's. The doctors only see her for 15 minutes every few months, and we needed a way to show them what happens in between.
The existing apps were either too clinical or too simple. We needed something that a caregiver could use quickly, that produced reports a neurologist would actually read, and that worked without an internet connection. So I built it.
PD Tracker is free because families dealing with Parkinson's have enough to worry about.
