Adhering to the Movement Disorder Data Collection Requirements

When using the movement disorder APIs, it’s critical that your app provides a transparent data collection experience. Your app must display an introductory screen that describes its data use policy. Additionally, some data types require specific disclosures.

Apps that perform movement disorder monitoring must display an introduction screen when the user first launches the app. This screen must describe the following:

• The app’s purpose and target audience.

• The data that your app collects during movement disorder monitoring.

• How you plan to use the data.

• Whether your app collects data while running in the background.

• Instructions on how to opt out of data collection in the future.

For some types of data, your app must include additional text in the introduction screen. For each of the following situations, add the specified text:

Resting tremor data

“This app is monitoring and collecting your Parkinsonian resting tremor data, only if you self-report or have been clinically diagnosed with resting tremor, and indicate within the app that this is true.”

Choreiform dyskinesia data

“This app is monitoring and collecting your choreiform dyskinesia data, only if you self-report or have been clinically diagnosed with choreiform dyskinesias, and indicate within the app that this is true.”

Movement disorder data in the background

“This app is able to collect your movement disorder data even when the app is not active, on screen, or responding to your user input.”
