About

health is a feed of Parkinson's disease research, news and patient resources, with plain-language summaries that anyone — patients, family, caregivers — can read.

Why this exists

Sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, how engaged you are with your own treatment — these are not just aspects of life that Parkinson's interferes with. Each of them, in turn, shapes the course of the disease and the severity of its symptoms. Daily decisions are part of how the condition is treated, not a backdrop to it.

That puts the patient, together with the caregivers alongside them, at the centre of how the disease is managed. They are the ones making those decisions hour by hour, whether or not the role was chosen.

Parkinson's is also far from a settled problem. No textbook gives a complete account: the mechanisms are still being worked out, and what counts as good practice keeps moving as new findings arrive. For the people living with the disease day to day, recent research is not academic — it informs the choices ahead, and the questions worth bringing to a clinician.

The aim of this site is to use AI and the community to shorten the distance between that research and the people doing the daily work.

Not medical advice

Everything on this site is informational. Treatment decisions belong with your clinician.

Built by readers

This site runs on reader contributions: the sources it follows, the plain-language summaries, the curated picks, and the digests are all contributed by readers with their AI assistant. Contribute or suggest a source.

Using AI responsibly

Each summary, pick, and digest is the kind of question readers are already putting to AI on their own. Sharing one answer turns a private query into a public resource — written once, useful many times.
