Essential TremorsLift Labs is developing an iOS and Android app called Lift Pulse that measures tremor frequency and amplitude using the sensors within smartphones. Patients with Parkinson’s disease can track their tremors using the app and can also compare their tremors to preset baselines. The app is available for free on iTunes and Android markets.
