Emma Watch: A wearable device that helps Parkinson's patients without vibration of Microsofts

Microsoft claims that the Emma Watch smart wearable device can help Parkinson's patients get easier, more convenient daily life. This device works by sending vibrations to the kit to control hand shake, allowing patients to handle everyday objects such as utensils, chopsticks, writing pens, etc. Show Emma Watch Only in the prototype stage but still a promising product, it is also seen as a model for using wearable devices to help patients not only Parkinson but many other diseases.

Uncontrolled hand shake is a typical symptom of Parkinson's disease - the disease has more than 10 million people worldwide. This disease makes the patient unable to live a normal life, including not being able to eat and drink, personal hygiene and, of course, unable to write like a normal person. With Emma Watch, Microsoft believes that will be solved. The name of the device is based on Emma Lawton - a graphic designer with Parkinson's disease - and a friend of creative director at Microsoft research department Haiyan Zhang.

Before Emma's illness, Zhang created a device for Emma and many others. It works by using a vibrating motor to send vibrational signals to the brain, causing the brain to disperse during the process of shaking hands. This approach can help your hands stop moving, allowing users to re-use their hands normally - something for a designer like Emma is extremely necessary.

It is known that everyone has rhythmic vibrations due to different Parkinson's disease, but Microsoft said that these motion models can be customized with an application on Windows 10. Zhang said they want to continue studying. Save AI and sensors to help identify the characteristics of each person's hand-shaking disease with the ultimate goal of maximizing the vibration of the hand. Lawton said: 'This device can still stop my hand from shaking. Writing is still not perfect, but God, it's better. "
