Using the knowledge gained at building a decision support system for differentiating tremors, we developed an e-service and a mobile application for quickly discovering and monitoring Parkinson disease and some tremors. ParkinsonCheck is an app for smart phones built to detect signs of Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET), which is the main differential diagnosis from PD in the early stage of the disease. The application is based on spirography (spiral drawing) and uses the built-in decision support system to detect potential signs of the disease. The intention is to warn potential patients of their signs as early as possible and guide them to seek medical help. The decision support system is what separates ParkinsonCheck from similar apps which rely on sending the user's data to a medical facility to be assessed by a neurologist.
