The paper introduces the ParkinsonCheck application. It is an app for smart phones based on spirography (spiral drawing) intended to detect signs of Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET), which is the main differential diagnosis from PD in the early stage of the disease. The app is equipped with an expert system and is the first such app to be completely automated. Its intended use is twofold: (a) to act as a standalone test for general population, advising potential patients to seek medical help as early as possible, and (b) to be used by neurologists as a portable and inexpensive fully digitalised clinical decision support system. ParkinsonCheck is currently freely available in Slovenia on four mobile platforms as a pilot study. After potentially upgrading its expert system with new learning data, the plan is for it to be translated into English and offered worldwide.
