When you live with Parkinson’s, everything matters. What you eat, how well hydrated you are, how well you sleep and when you take your medication matters. Your exercise and hormonal fluctuations also impact how well you can live with Parkinson’s.
But keeping track of it all is a full-time job, especially when you’re trying to hold down a job or look after kids or grandkids while living with a condition that impacts how you move and feel.
- How? You can track your symptoms and more!
- 📢 Can we count on you to participate? Aussie women with PD are invited to be part of this first-of-its-kind study and help us make a difference in the lives of women with Parkinson’s worldwide.

Why women only? Women have the unique challenge of navigating PD whilst going through many hormonal stages in life, from those still menstruating through pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause. We are running a global, first-of-its-kind study in collaboration with Richelle Flanagan and researchers from University College Cork, Ireland, to understand the impact of these different stages of life on women with Parkinson’s. We are recruiting women of all ages living with Parkinson’s in Australia for this study.
The study runs until the end of this year, and we would love to encourage women in Australasia to participate.
Explanatory videos and a webinar explain the current research on women with PD. The webinar includes a researcher from UCC explaining the study: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMovesMatter.
(n.b. Men can use this app too, but the pilot study is only for women. We want to ensure Australian women are represented in this important international dataset, so please assist us!)
