mPower App

The Parkinson app is one of the first five apps built using ResearchKit.

mPower is a unique iPhone application that uses a mix of surveys and tasks that activate phone sensors to collect and track health and symptoms of Parkinson Disease (PD) progression - like dexterity, balance or gait.

The goal of this app is to learn more about the variations of PD, and to improve the way we describe these variations and to learn how mobile devices and sensors can help us to measure PD and its progression to ultimately improve the quality of life for people with PD.

Building the App

###Requirements

  • Xcode 6.3
  • iOS 8.3 SDK

###Getting the source

First, check out the source, including all the dependencies:

git clone --recurse-submodules  https://github.com/ResearchKit/mPower.git

###Building it

Open the project, Parkinson.xcodeproj, and build and run.

Other components

Several survey instruments used in the shipping app have been removed from the open source version because they are not free to use:

  • PDQ8 (Parkinson disease questionnaire)
  • MDS-UPDRS (Parkinson disease rating scale)

The shipping app also uses OpenSSL to add extra data protection, which has not been included in the published version of the AppCore project. See the AppCore repository for more details.
