Young Onset Parkinson’s Exchange (YOP-X) App Launch

The YOP-X IS LIVE!!

Today we are excited to announce that Parkinson’s Australia‘s WORLD FIRST app and website is being launched to bring new hope to those living with Young Onset Parkinson’s. The app, called YOP-X and able to be downloaded for free from your App Store, includes tools which have been uniquely shaped by the first-hand experiences of people living with Young Onset Parkinson’s.

Dr Fiona Kerr and The NeuroTech Institute advised Parkinson’s SA on the development of the app .

Developed as a living lab model, the experiences, ideas, knowledge and daily needs of people with young onset Parkinson’s have underpinned all YOP-X content, with more than one hundred individual stories and experiences shaping tools and resources.

YOP-X also provides a fast track for people with young onset Parkinson’s to collect and collate information relevant to their NDIS applications, and acts as a valuable workforce tool for NDIS staff and health professionals.
