In this special  episode, I sit down with Dr. Amanda Hare, Nurse Practitioner at Rune Labs, whose journey from the neurology ICU to digital health innovation offers powerful insights for the Parkinson’s community. We explore how her frontline experience shaped her understanding of patient care and how that perspective now fuels her work with the groundbreaking StrivePD app.

Dr. Hare walks us through the app’s capabilities—from tracking tremors and dyskinesia in real time to monitoring non-motor symptoms, setting medication reminders, and journaling emotional well-being. We discuss how this data can be shared with clinicians to create more personalized, focused treatment plans, and how the paid service, StrivePD Guardian, is working toward insurance approval to make this tool more accessible.

We also dive into Rune Labs’ exciting collaboration with the Parkinson’s Foundation, combining the PD GENEration genetic testing program with StrivePD to advance research and care. Finally, we look ahead to the future of Parkinson’s therapies and the promising efforts to slow disease progression.

🧠 Whether you're living with Parkinson’s, caring for someone who is, or simply passionate about innovation in healthcare, this episode is packed with insights and hope.
