Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Parkinson\'s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. However, diagnosing, assessing, and treating these patients is a complex process requiring continuous monitoring. In this context, smartphones may be useful in the management of patients with PD.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to perform a systematic review of the literature addressing the use of mobile phone applications (apps) in PD.
METHODS: We conducted a literature search of articles published in English or Spanish between 2011 and 2016 analysing or validating apps specifically designed for or useful in PD. In addition, we searched for apps potentially useful for PD patients in the leading app stores.
CONCLUSIONS: The literature and app searches yielded a total of 125 apps, 56 of which were classified as potentially useful in PD and 69 as specifically designed for PD (23 information apps, 29 assessment apps, 13 treatment apps, and 4 assessment and treatment apps). Numerous mobile apps are potentially useful in or specifically designed for PD management. However, scientific evidence of their usefulness is scarce and of poor quality. Further studies are needed to validate these tools and regulate their use.

摘要：
背景：帕金森病（PD）是第二常见的神经退行性疾病。然而,诊断,评估,治疗这些患者是一个复杂的过程，需要持续监测。在这种情况下，智能手机可能对PD患者的管理有用。
目的：本研究的目的是对有关在PD中使用手机应用程序（apps）的文献进行系统回顾。
方法：我们对2011年至2016年间以英语或西班牙语发表的文章进行了文献检索，分析或验证了专门为PD设计或有用的应用程序。此外,我们在领先的应用商店中搜索了可能对PD患者有用的应用。
结论：文献和应用程序搜索总共产生了125个应用程序，其中56个被归类为在PD中可能有用，69个被归类为专门为PD设计(23个信息应用程序，29个评估应用程序，13个治疗应用程序，和4个评估和治疗应用程序)。许多移动应用程序可能在PD管理中有用或专门设计用于PD管理。然而,关于它们有用性的科学证据很少，质量也很差。需要进一步的研究来验证这些工具并规范其使用。
