Symptom trackers are tools that allow the person with PD to identify what symptoms they have and track them over time. Some include medication tracking as well. The goal is to identify any changes in symptoms as a way to communicate effectively with healthcare professionals so that treatment can be optimized. The tools are available through websites, downloadable apps to mobile phones, or by printing out worksheets and tracking symptoms by hand.
