Rune Labs has launched StrivePD Guardian, an AI-powered companion designed to provide continuous, personalized support for people living with Parkinson’s disease. Built using Anthropic’s Claude model and trained on Rune Labs’ proprietary dataset of wearable-derived patient data, the system analyzes real-time inputs to deliver guidance on symptoms, medications, and daily care. The launch reflects growing interest in applying AI to chronic disease management, where patient needs can fluctuate throughout the day.

StrivePD Guardian integrates with wearable devices and existing patient logs to track symptom changes such as mobility issues or medication response. It uses an “agentic” architecture, routing user queries to specialized assistants focused on areas like medication management, symptom interpretation, and behavioral coaching. The system also includes journaling tools and data visualization features that translate complex physiological data into accessible insights for patients and clinicians.

Unlike general-purpose AI chatbots, the platform is designed specifically for Parkinson’s, using clinically validated algorithms to interpret patterns such as “off times” or dyskinesia. Rune Labs says the tool becomes more personalized over time, adapting to user behavior, health data, and treatment goals.

The company emphasized safety and clinical oversight, noting the system is designed to provide cautious guidance and direct users to medical professionals when needed. StrivePD Guardian is now available via the App Store and through healthcare provider partnerships, with features varying by subscription tier.
