Abstract
The MoveApp project aims to develop new tools to support self-management of chronic conditions which are characterized by motor symptoms and loss of motor coordination. The initial application targets Parkinson's Disease patients. The project will be undertaken in two phases, one related to the development of a self-monitoring and visualization tool for patients; and another related to the development of models to support the decision making process for patients and doctors.
