Beneufit is launching the pdFIT app, a disease management solution for Parkinson’s patients, touting it as a next-generation health and wellness app on IMS Health’s AppScript platform.
pdFIT is designed to reduce symptoms, delay disease progression and improve quality of life by leveraging exercise. This is accomplished by prescribing specific exercise protocols designed for Parkinson’s disease patients and continuously monitoring patient health through a series of tests provided through the pdFIT app.
“pdFIT is an important tool for Parkinson’s disease patients who are fighting to remain independent and delay disease progression. We’ve seen significant improvement in fitness capacity and motor control for those engaged in our program,” said Jeff Broderick, Beneufit’s CEO. “Now that we’re included in the AppScript platform we’ll be able to connect with patients and physicians in a novel and thoughtful manner.”
AppScript is a mobile health discovery and distribution platform that helps physicians and other healthcare professionals easily evaluate, select and prescribe the right mobile health apps, connected devices, and educational content for use by patients and caregivers.
