Tang, Liang, Shen, et al. assessed whether the use of a health management app by people with Parkinson’s disease before and after a COVID-19 lockdown in China had an impact on their quality of life (QoL). They show that these social distancing measures reduced the QoL overall, but the reduction was less pronounced if adherence to the app was high.
