App Features
Personalised Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (PACT) for Parkinson’s disease
Personalised
Enhanced with AI driven personalisation, our app caters to individual preferences and challenges, equipping users with resilience and adaptability skills tailored specifically to their Parkinson’s journey.
Accessible
The PACT app provides accessible, personalised, psychological support at your fingertips, making it much more convenient than traditional face-to-face therapies which have limited accessibility.
Bite Sized
With 5-10 minute ‘bite-sized’ sessions, you can quickly learn to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings, manage stress, and adjust better to living with Parkinson’s symptoms and care routines.
About PACT
Our project is called PACT which stands for Personalised Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Parkinson’s disease. Living with Parkinson’s presents daily challenges which can affect a person’s wellbeing.
We have created a digital application or app which provides brief daily support for psychological wellbeing based on the talking therapy Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
The app provides 5-10 minute ‘bite-sized’ sessions that can help you learn to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings, manage stress, and adjust better to living with Parkinson’s symptoms and care routines.
