Living with Parkinson’s means managing an ever-changing condition. From motor fluctuations and medication timing to tracking symptoms and coordinating care, the daily responsibilities can quickly become overwhelming—for both individuals and their caregivers. mejo helps bring structure, clarity, and support to this journey.
Why Parkinson’s Care Requires Constant Coordination
Parkinson’s is complex—and dynamic. What works one week might need adjusting the next. Managing appointments, medication regimens, side effects, mood changes, mobility tools, therapies, and support services requires reliable tools and consistent communication.
Common challenges include:
Keeping medication schedules consistent
Noticing and recording subtle changes in symptoms
Communicating clearly with multiple providers
Coordinating care between family, aides, and specialists
Managing energy, stress, and time as a caregiver
Prepping for surgeries and procedures like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery
"I'm so glad I had mejo during my DBS surgery. It was super helpful to have all the info on hand." Jess, Parkinson's patient
That’s why staying organized and proactive isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
