Jessica going to the doctor: "Here are a few notes I wrote on paper. Oh! I captured a video on my phone somewhere to see my gait. Wait, did I mention I now go through two pharmacies?". And this is nothing. Many of those living with Parkinson's are also living with things like: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, surgeries, etc. And the caregivers I talk to all say the same thing: "I can't keep it all straight and I feel like I'm educating the doctor on all his 'other' ailments". Well, you are not alone.Meet Ryan Sheedy. He is a parent to a child with a rare disease — an experience that inspired him to create Mejo, a care companion app designed to simplify and personalize care management. What started as a way to organize his own family's complex medical world has grown into a powerful tool now being offered to the Parkinson’s community. Through a new partnership with Changing Parkinson’s, caregivers in our group (U.S. only at this time) will have access to Mejo’s premium features, making it easier to track medications, doctor visits, symptoms, and more — all in one place.
