The Parkinson’s Foundation is excited to introduce Ask PAM (Parkinson’s Assistance Messenger): An AI-powered chat tool that provides trusted, evidence-based answers about Parkinson’s disease. 💬

Using artificial intelligence, PAM pulls information from Parkinson.org to answer questions about PD. PAM was created to give people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones instant access to accurate PD information 24 hours a day, seven days a week, however the information provided by PAM is for general educational purposes only and is not intended to replace advice from any qualified healthcare provider.

To begin a chat with PAM, click the symbol that appears in the bottom right corner of every page on Parkinson.org. Learn more about this new tool, including answers to frequently asked questions, by visiting: Parkinson.org/blog/awareness/ask-pam
