Managing Parkinson’s disease means navigating countless questions between appointments. When should I take this medication? Why am I feeling this way today? What did my doctor say about that symptom? These moments of uncertainty often happen when your care team isn't available - late at night, on weekends, or simply between visits.
That's why we built StrivePD Guardian.
StrivePD Guardian is an AI-powered companion designed to support people with Parkinson’s throughout their healthcare journey. Available 24/7 through the StrivePD Guardian app, it provides personalized guidance, emotional support, and health insights whenever you need them.
Think of it as having a knowledgeable friend who understands your health situation and is always available to help, not to replace your doctors, but to support you between visits.
When you send a message to StrivePD Guardian, it doesn't just respond with generic information. Behind the scenes, an intelligent routing system analyzes your question and connects you with the right type of support:
This multi-agent approach means you get focused, relevant responses rather than one-size-fits-all answers.
StrivePD Guardian doesn't just know about your Parkinson’s in general - it knows about your condition specifically. When you ask a question, it dynamically pulls in your latest symptom logs, movement data, and biometric measurements from StrivePD.
This data is processed through Rune Labs' clinically validated algorithms, which transform raw sensor data from your Apple Watch and other devices into meaningful health metrics. The result: when you ask "How have my tremors been this week?", StrivePD Guardian can give you an answer grounded in objective measurements, not just generic information.
"I forgot if I'm supposed to take my evening dose with food or not."
StrivePD Guardian can help you understand your medications: when to take them, what to expect, and how they work together. It draws on your prescription information to give personalized answers, while always directing you to your care team for dosage changes or medical decisions.
"I had a rough day and I'm not sure why. Can you help me think through it?"
Sometimes you need space to process. StrivePD Guardian's reflection feature helps you explore your thoughts and emotions through guided journaling. It identifies themes, validates your experiences, and offers gentle suggestions, grounded in evidence-based approaches like DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
"My app shows my symptoms have been trending up. What does that mean?"
Health apps generate a lot of data, but numbers without context aren't helpful. StrivePD Guardian translates your health metrics into meaningful insights, helping you spot patterns and understand what your body is telling you.
"I have an appointment next week. What should I bring up with my doctor?"
Make the most of your limited time with your care team. StrivePD Guardian can help you prepare by reviewing your recent symptoms, medication questions, and health trends to generate a personalized list of talking points. Walk into your appointment with clarity and confidence, ready to have a productive conversation.
"Is it normal to feel more tired after starting my new treatment?"
Between appointments, questions pile up. StrivePD Guardian provides a judgment-free space to ask anything on your mind, offering supportive guidance while knowing when to encourage you to reach out to your care team.
We designed StrivePD Guardian to be helpful without being intrusive. Each conversation is independent - the system doesn't store your chat history long-term. Instead, it uses relevant context about your care (like your care team and health goals) to personalize responses in the moment, then lets the conversation go.
This means you get personalized support without sacrificing privacy.
To be clear about boundaries: StrivePD Guardian is a support tool, not a replacement for medical care.
It won't diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or make medical decisions. When your questions require clinical expertise, it will encourage you to contact your care team and can help you prepare for that conversation. However, it can help you prepare for that conversation by analyzing your medications in the context of your symptoms and health history. Simply ask it what you should talk to your care team about at your next appointment.
Think of it as the bridge between appointments, not a substitute for them.
For those curious about how it works: StrivePD Guardian is built on a multi-agent AI architecture powered by advanced large language models. Rather than a single chatbot trying to handle everything, specialized agents focus on what they do best - medication information, emotional support, clinical care coordination, or general guidance.
An intelligent router analyzes each message and directs it to the most appropriate specialist agent, ensuring you get focused, high-quality responses. The system is designed to be stateless and scalable, meaning it's reliable and responsive even during high-demand periods.
StrivePD Guardian is available to StrivePD users through the mobile app. Just open the app and look for the Guardian feature. If you're a current patient, you can start using a limited version today. If you would like an unlimited version, upgrade to StrivePD Guardian for $14.99/month.
We're excited to put this technology in your hands, and we're just getting started. As we learn from how people with Parkinson’s use StrivePD Guardian, we'll continue improving it to better serve your needs.
