## What is Parkinson Companion?

Parkinson Companion is free and works completely offline — built to be used
one-handed in the moment that matters, by the carer as much as by the person
themselves.

No account. No sign-up. No subscription. No signal needed. Open it and it just
works, and all data stays private on the phone — nothing is uploaded, tracked,
or sold.

One tap starts an episode. One tap calls for help. That is the whole point: when
things are hard, the app is simple.

WHAT YOU CAN TRACK

• Episodes — one tap starts the timer. Log the type (tremor, involuntary
  movements), whether there is pain, and who is present. The start time can be
  corrected (−5, −15, −30 min), because nobody logs at the exact moment, and an
  episode started by accident can be cancelled without saving anything.

• Medication — your list with doses and, if you want them, dose times. Each dose
  is recorded at the time it was actually given, not the time it was typed in.
  If you allow notifications, the app can remind you at each dose time — the
  reminder is scheduled entirely on the phone, nothing is sent anywhere.

• Next dose — with times set, the home screen shows the next dose due and flags
  overdue ones.

• Next appointment — an optional date shown at the top of the doctor report,
  with a reminder the day before if you allow notifications.

• Wellbeing — a quick daily check-in: appetite, mood, pain, sleep, weight, and
  optional non-motor symptoms (anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, urinary issues,
  constipation, dizziness on standing) that are easy to forget to mention.

• Incidents — falls, near-falls, freezing, choking.

• Pouch supply — so a refill is never a surprise.

FOR THE DOCTOR

The report filters to 7, 30 or 90 days, or the whole history. It shows episode
time per day, a trend chart marking treatment changes, medication adherence,
time-of-day distribution, delay after medication, and how many episodes happened
while the person was alone. It prints to a clean one-page summary (or saves as
PDF) for the patient's file, and exports to CSV.

CALL FOR HELP

An always-visible button calls the partner, the carer, or the emergency
services. The emergency number is configurable (112, 999, 911, 15…).

FIVE LANGUAGES

The app opens in the device's language and can be switched any time in Settings:
English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

BACKUP

The data exists only on this device. Save a backup from Settings and keep the
file somewhere else — that is also how you move the history to a new phone.

IMPORTANT

This app is a tracking diary. It does not diagnose, does not give medical
advice, and does not replace a healthcare professional or the emergency
services. It does not monitor the person: it cannot detect falls and cannot
alert anyone on its own — use the iPhone's or Apple Watch's fall detection
for that.
