Quelling Tremors One Hand at a Time

The BBC has a terrific video about a computer wizard in London who developed hardware and software that quell Parkinson tremors in the hand of Young Onset Parkie Emma Lawton.

Emma is a graphic designer.  At the beginning of the video, she can no longer draw or write her name.  The computer geek, Haiyan Zhang, invents a computer gizmo that Emma attaches to her wrist.  Voilà!  Emma writes her name clearly and draws a straight line.


 


Happy days are here again!
