Gamified physical activity for veterans with Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a fun, gamified approach to physical activity can help veterans with Parkinson's disease become more active. You'll use a fitness tracker and a phone app, and your progress may be turned into challenges or points to keep you motivated.
