StrivePD Guardian now lets Parkinson’s patients, caregivers and physicians track symptoms and get answers, powered by years of real-world clinical data
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Rune Labs announced the launch of a personalized AI companion to provide always-on support for people with Parkinson’s disease. Powered by Anthropic’s Claude and built on Rune Labs’ proprietary longitudinal dataset, comprising millions of hours of wearable data and FDA-cleared symptom algorithms, StrivePD Guardian continuously analyzes patients’ real-time data to deliver timely, context-aware guidance on symptoms, medications, daily experiences, and care goals.
“People with Parkinson’s live with symptoms that change hour-to-hour,” said Amy Franzen, CEO of Rune Labs. “StrivePD Guardian provides support in those moments, translating continuous symptom changes into clearer understanding, better management, and more productive clinical visits.”
Unlike general-purpose AI tools, StrivePD Guardian uses an agentic system built specifically for Parkinson’s disease. Each message is automatically routed in real-time to a specialized, domain-trained assistant with curated medical-grade content, allowing the system to deliver relevant, precise responses without requiring patients to navigate menus or select tools.
StrivePD Guardian’s coordinated set of specialized agents includes:
- Medication Assistant: Education about medication use, side effects, and how medication dynamics impact symptom control and quality of life
- Symptom Expert: Interpretation of symptom trends and fluctuations using wearable data and user-reported inputs, including insights from Rune Labs’ clinically validated algorithms, such as fall risk level
- PD Coach: Evidence-informed support for habits, routines, and goal setting
- Journal Companion: Reflective journaling for emotional and symptom tracking
- Data Visualization and Analysis: Clear summaries that translate raw wearable data into understandable insights
“It’s like having a conversation with my own StrivePD data. The monthly AI reports help me step back and see the bigger picture, and the StrivePD Guardian chat helps me day to day. I can ask questions, get quick answers, all grounded in what I’ve logged,” said Kevin K., a StrivePD Guardian user. “I’ve asked it to review my many unique symptoms and their fluctuations and trends, and prepare me for what to discuss with my clinician.”
StrivePD Guardian becomes more helpful over time through adaptive intelligence, learning from wearable-derived symptom data, medication logs, chats, journal entries, and user-defined goals. This continuously updated patient profile enables personalized, meaningful support without adding burden to patients or care teams.
“With StrivePD Guardian, we designed a conversational interface grounded in years of clinical and real-world data collected from users,” said William Newby, Vice President of Product and Strategy at Rune Labs. “Because StrivePD Guardian is trained on our continuous wearable datasets, it can interpret ‘off times’ and dyskinesia with a level of precision that general-purpose AI models simply cannot achieve. We’re connecting abstract symptoms with objective physiological patterns.”
Rune Labs developed StrivePD Guardian with clinical oversight and safety at its core. It uses cautious, supportive language and urgent symptom guidance that directs patients to contact a clinician or seek emergency care when necessary. These safeguards are designed to support use within established care pathways and oversight frameworks, helping clinicians and payers integrate the technology with confidence.
StrivePD Guardian is now available for everybody. Patients can download StrivePD Guardian from the App Store, and existing StrivePD users can upgrade within the app. AI chat access may vary based on plan. For providers, StrivePD Guardian can also be offered through partner programs to support ongoing monitoring, engagement, and care coordination.
