One of the biggest problems of Parkinson’s sufferers it’s their constant tremors, that make daily tasks, such as eating, a challenge.This problem affects the self-esteem and independency of people with Parkinson’s disease. Realizing this, the LIFT LAB company, developed a spoon that cancels out the tremors movement and allows people to eat successfully on their own. The spoon, called LIFTWARE, is an electronic spoon that uses a microchip and sensors to detect the direction of the tremor and cancels out the movement, or at list reduce a big percentage of it, obtaining not perfect results, but a massive improvement in the quality of life.
