Parkinson’s involuntary movements
Gyrogear is secretive about its glove technology, but a demonstration video claims it controls 80% of body movements resulting from Parkinson’s. The support comes from a relationship between a space-grade gyroscope and a structure manufactured by Foxconn, the same company that Apple uses for its computers. A motor that compensates for involuntary movements is attached to a breathable glove in conjunction with a lithium battery that provides four hours of continuous use.
The first batch of gloves to suppress Parkinson’s tremors will be available in the coming months. On the GyroGear page you can pre-order by selecting hand position and limb size. In its first version, the GyroGlove cost $4,899.
