Parkinson’s disease presents fluctuating motor and non-motor symptoms that complicate day-to-day self-management and clinical decision-making. Care teams require timely, longitudinal insight into medication effects and symptom variability to optimize treatment plans between visits. Digital tools that translate continuous wearable signals into actionable guidance can reduce ambiguity for patients and clinicians. A new system has launched that applies AI to real-time patient data to deliver context-aware support and symptom tracking for Parkinson’s disease.

StrivePD Guardian from Rune Labs is a personalized AI companion designed to provide always-on support for people with Parkinson’s disease. Powered by Anthropic’s Claude and built on Rune Labs’ proprietary longitudinal dataset encompassing millions of hours of wearable data and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared symptom algorithms, the system continuously analyzes real-time inputs. It delivers timely, context-aware guidance related to symptoms, medications, daily experiences, and care goals for patients, caregivers, and physicians.

Unlike general-purpose tools, the platform uses an agentic architecture tailored to Parkinson’s disease. Each message is automatically routed in real time to a specialized, domain-trained assistant drawing on curated medical‑grade content, removing the need for users to navigate menus or select tools. Its coordinated agents provide education about medication use and dynamics; interpret symptom trends and fluctuations from wearable and user‑reported inputs, including fall‑risk levels; support habits, routines, and goal setting; enable reflective journaling; and convert raw wearable data into clear summaries and insights.

StrivePD Guardian applies adaptive intelligence to become more helpful over time, learning from wearable‑derived symptom data, medication logs, chats, journal entries, and user-defined goals. The resulting continuously updated patient profile is intended to offer personalized support without adding burden to patients or care teams. Safety features include cautious, supportive language and urgent symptom guidance that directs individuals to contact a clinician or seek emergency care when necessary. These safeguards are described as aligning with established care pathways and oversight frameworks to help clinicians and payers integrate the technology.

The system is now available, with patients able to download StrivePD Guardian from the App Store and existing StrivePD users able to upgrade within the app. Access to artificial intelligence chat features may vary by plan. Providers can offer StrivePD Guardian through partner programs to support ongoing monitoring, engagement, and care coordination.

“People with Parkinson’s live with symptoms that change hour-to-hour. StrivePD Guardian provides support in those moments, translating continuous symptom changes into clearer understanding, better management, and more productive clinical visits," said Amy Franzen, CEO of Rune Labs.
