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.
Medication dose tracking
Log every dose with timing and amount. Track on-time, early, late, and missed doses. See how long each medication's effect lasts.
AI-generated clinical reports
One click produces a detailed report with symptom trends, medication analysis, and AI-written summaries. Designed for the 15-minute neurologist visit.
Video evidence recording
Record symptom episodes on the spot. Videos attach to check-ins and incidents, giving doctors context they can't get from numbers alone.
Trend charts with medication correlation
Symptom severity plotted alongside dose times and meal markers. See wearing-off patterns and how protein intake affects medication absorption.
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.

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.
