See patterns that are difficult to recall or describe
Better understand the impact of medication and routines

Powered by a clinically validated wearable

WellPD is a medical device featuring monitoring technology built specifically for Parkinson's. Designed with the wearer in mind, it weighs just 11 grams, about the weight of a pencil, and is barely noticeable when worn. It features a stretchable fabric band for comfortable, everyday use, is waterproof, and offers 14 days of battery life, minimizing the need for frequent interaction.

Data-driven insights for improved Parkinson's management

Managing Parkinson's well means understanding the full picture. WellPD introduces WellMove, a new motor measure unique to WellPD, showing how much of your day was spent with mild or no motor symptoms. It also tracks sleep and physical activity, and helps you stay on top of your medication with regular reminders. All of this, together with your dyskinesia, bradykinesia, and tremor readings, is turned into easy-to-read summaries, helping you and those around you understand what makes your symptoms better or worse.

Leading Voices

Clinical perspectives on wearables in Parkinson’s care.

Director of Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders, Northwell Health

Dr. Alessandro Di Rocco

Parkinson's disease is one of the most common and treatable neurological disorders, yet its complexity often leads to suboptimal care. Digital wearables can transform a complex mix of symptoms into clear, accurate, and actionable data. When evaluating patients, clinicians need to understand their daily life at home—how they sleep, respond to treatment, and manage symptoms. Objective insights from wearable technology provide this vital context, complementing patient feedback to enable more informed care and tailored treatments.

Neurologist

Dr. Jesse Cedarbaum

When we develop treatments for Parkinson’s, we want to understand whether they’re helping people in their everyday lives. A visit in a clinical trial or routine care gives us only part of that picture. Continuous, objective monitoring through wearable technology can help us measure how symptoms change throughout the day, adding to what people tell us about how they’re feeling.

Neurology Specialist Pharmacist

Dr. Janine Barnes

For people with Parkinson’s, managing medication can take a great deal of planning, especially when taking several doses throughout the day and coordinating around meals. As a pharmacist, I see real value in technology that brings symptom monitoring and medication logging together, helping people take an informed, active role in conversations about their health and care.

Director of Deep Brain Stimulation, Northwell Health

Dr. Ritesh Ramdhani

Wearable monitoring enhances our understanding of how Parkinson's symptoms change daily and respond to treatment. Bringing objective, real-world data into clinical care can assist clinicians in making more informed, personalized decisions and better support people living with Parkinson’s.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does WellPD need a smartphone?

Yes, you will need to have a dedicated smartphone to stay connected to WellPD. This is because the WellPD app, installed on the user’s phone, receives information from the device via Bluetooth. WellPD requires a compatible smartphone to operate. The phone runs the companion app and is responsible for notifications, medication reminders, and data upload. The app needs to be installed on a phone used by the person wearing the wearable device. For a list of compatible smartphones, you can visit our compatibility page.

How does WellPD track my symptoms?

The WellPD device uses sensors and clinically validated algorithms to track your body's signals, including motor symptoms, sleep, and physical activity. The app brings this information together and makes sense of it, helping you see patterns in your symptoms and daily routines over time. The algorithms have been evaluated as part of the FDA clearance process, are backed by 70+ peer-reviewed publications, and are already in use across more than 150 hospitals and clinical sites worldwide. WellPD is intended to support your understanding of your symptoms over time and does not replace your healthcare provider’s clinical assessment.

What can I learn from my WellPD data?

WellPD gives you insights into your motor symptoms, including dyskinesia, bradykinesia, and tremor, sleep, physical activity, and medication timing. You can view your data and trends over time, including WellMove, a motor measure unique to WellPD, that shows how much of your day was spent with mild or no motor symptoms. These insights can help you identify patterns that may be difficult to remember or describe. Daily, weekly, and monthly summaries make your data easier to understand, helping you and your care team see how your symptoms may change throughout the day and in relation to your medication and daily routines.
