Welcome to the PACT research study!
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.

The app design and research is being done by researchers at City, University of London, with collaborators from the University of Glasgow, King’s College London, Uppsala university, and the Office of Health Economics. The app has also been developed together with a group of people who have Parkinson’s disease and their family members or carers so that it is easy to use with different Parkinson’s symptoms. This project is funded by Parkinson’s UK. Click on the tabs to learn more about the study and the PACT app.
