Abstract

The emergence of mHealth products has created capability of monitoring and managing health of patients with chronic disease. In this paper, we analyze the participants’ usage of a mobile app named mPower, developed for Parkinson disease. We identify the demographic/usage difference between different groups of participants, which provides insights into better design and marketing of mHealth products.
