In particular, users with Parkinson’s disease can perform a series of tests using the new application, and immediately transmit these data doctor. Start the tests can be very simple – just say “Ahhhh,” and you can record symptoms. Furthermore, there are additional tests – for example, the patient may perform tasks previously allocated to the touching points on the screen.
