Parkinson's Journey - How can digital tools support Parkinson’s care?

Parkinson's Journey - Jan 2026 Technology is playing an increasingly important role across many aspects of Parkinson’s—yet it is not always obvious how these innovations translate into meaningful, practical benefit for people living with the condition and their families. While there is a rapidly expanding ecosystem of self-tracking tools, including apps and wearables, many remain inconsistently validated, and real-world adoption has been slower than expected. Although artificial intelligence continues to dominate headlines, truly patient-ready applications in Parkinson’s have not yet kept pace with the hype. Join speech-language pathologist John Dean, MA, CCC-SLP, and physiotherapist Josefa Domingos, PT, PhD, for a focused conversation on what is genuinely emerging, what is already useful today, and how to make smarter, more confident choices about digital tools. In partnership with the Inova Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Center (https://ipmdc.org) The Inova Parkinson and Movement Disorder Center is part of the largest nonprofit healthcare system in Virginia. With Sonia Gow’s hard work and their top-notch team of movement disorder specialists, the IPMDC does an amazing job of supporting the Parkinson’s community in Northern Virginia and beyond.
