The FDA cleared a tool from Kneu Health that uses an Apple Watch to monitor the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, HIT Consultant reported on September 3, 2026.
How it works
The watch tracks tremor and dyskinesia continuously, without the wearer doing anything. Dyskinesia is the involuntary movement that can develop after years on Parkinson's medication. The watch data is combined with short movement and thinking tests taken on a phone.
Neurologists use the record to adjust medication and to spot changes earlier.
Why it mattered
A clinic visit shows a doctor a few minutes of a condition that changes hour by hour. A watch shows the rest.
Kneu Health grew out of neurology research at the University of Oxford. This is a prescription tool for patients and their specialists. It is not a consumer feature.
