and software developed by Rune Labs will use Apple's motion sensors to detect falls and shakes.

The purpose of Rune Lab is to collect as much patient data as possible so that the disease can be treated as quickly as possible.

Presently the process of collecting data is complex and symptoms of illness may vary from time to time.

Rune Lab's strivePD software in Apple Watch will continue to provide doctors with data that will last for a long time until a cure is found.
