Developing wearable medical technologies for mobility enablement in Parkinson’s.
Our first device, gaitQ tempo™ is a discreet vibrational cueing system to help people with Parkinson’s maintain a more fluid and stable gait.
"When freezing, it helps me focus on my leg and step it out."
"I think his walking is better with it. Normally his feet will be on the floor, now he lifts them properly."
"No one would notice it. Even when I wear shorts, they will think it is a sports accessory."
Usability and accessibility are at the heart of our user experience design process.
Remarkable advancements in technology have provided a ray of sunshine for those affected by Parkinson's. Amidst the challenges, there is a glimmer of hope.
Family and friends can significantly improve the experience of living with Parkinson's by providing understanding, empathy, and practical assistance.
