The Glove That Can Fight Parkinson's Disease
PC Magazine
|March 2016
During med school, Faii Ong met a 103-year-old patient covered in soup, and asked the nurses why they weren’t helping her. “There’s nothing we can do,” they responded. The medications for Parkinson’s disease, from which the patient suffered, don’t work forever, the nurses explained, and beyond a certain point they don’t help much at all.
So Ong went to work. In less than two years, he and a “crack team of engineers, designers, and medics” have gone on to win the first inaugural £10,000 F-factor prize and produce the GyroGlove: a wearable device designed to mitigate the hand tremors suffered by Parkinson’s patients.
