“…There have been a number of studies within the HCI literature that have explored the development of digital systems to support people with Parkinson's in the day to day management of their conditions [e.g. 1,2,7,13,[35][36][37][38][39][40]. The vast majority of these focus on the delivery of 'treatments' or 'interventions' that focus on specific symptoms, such as gait management [2,7,35], drooling [37], motor rehabilitation [1,36], speech, [38,39] and symptom tracking [13].…”

While user participation is central to HCI, co-inquiry takes this further by having participants direct and control research from conceptualisation to completion. We describe a co-inquiry, conducted over 16 months with a Parkinson's support group. We explored how the participation of members might be enabled across multiple stages of a research project, from the generation of research questions to the development of a prototype. Participants directed the research into developing alternative modes of information provision, resulting in 'Parkinson's Radio'a collectivist health information service produced and edited by members of the support group. We reflect on how we supported participation at different stages of the project and the successes and challenges faced by the team. We contribute insights into the design of collectivist health technologies for this group, and discuss opportunities and tensions for conducting co-inquiry in HCI research.

“…Their results focus on performance metrics only and show that stepping interfaces are suitable for balance training and falls prevention in the sense that all users were able to interact with the system; however, because they removed all game elements including music from their version of DDR, it is unclear whether the application would be motivating and enjoyable over a longer period of time. Building on these rather promising examples, Assad et al 41,42 developed WuppDi!, a selection of mini games aiming to foster physical therapy among older adults with Parkinson's disease. Blurring the boundaries between exergames and augmented activity, this approach integrates richer gameplay and therapeutic goals by combining therapy-appropriate movements with interaction paradigms and game mechanics.…”

“…Previous research has explored the potential for using technology to help people with Parkinson's monitor and manage their symptoms [2,3,8,11,[26][27][28][29][30][31]; from wearable devices to support freezing episodes [3,7,26], speech [30,31], and drooling [29]; to gaming systems to support motor rehabilitation [2,28]. These types of technologies offer individuals an opportunity to gain a better understanding of their condition and how to manage it effectively, and ultimately regain a sense of control over their lives [15].…”

Recent years have seen an explosion of internet of things (IoT) technologies being released to the market. There has also been an emerging interest in the potentials of IoT devices to support people with chronic health conditions. In this paper, we describe the results of engagements to scope the future potentials of IoT for supporting people with Parkinson's. We ran a 2-day multidisciplinary event with professionals with expertise in Parkinson's and IoT, to explore the opportunities, challenges and benefits. We then ran 4 workshops, engaging 13 people with Parkinson's and caregivers, to scope out the needs, values and desires that the community has for utilizing IoT to monitor their symptoms. This work contributes a set of considerations for future IoT solutions that might support people with Parkinson's in better understanding their condition, through the provision of objective measurements that correspond to their, currently unmeasured, subjective experiences.
