With StrivePD, users gain insights to guide their care journey, and have the ability to share their data with clinical specialists for a personalized strategy. The StrivePD and LSVT Global team have joined forces to empower PwPD through the combined power of personalized insights and exercise. With this partnership, StrivePD users can now track their symptoms in between and during LSVT BIG sessions. Mobility metrics with symptom and medication data will help clinicians and PwPD further understand how LSVT or other physical activity are impacting their disease progression. The goal is to provide a more comprehensive picture of PD, enabling PwPD and clinicians to make informed decisions.
