AR Technology Offers New Hope for Parkinson's Patients

Strolll, a startup founded by Tom Finn, is developing augmented reality (AR) software to help Parkinson's patients overcome motor symptoms by projecting virtual cue lines on the ground. This technology, called Reality DTx, builds on the concept of external cueing, which uses visual prompts to engage unaffected neural pathways. With support from academics and clinical trials, Strolll aims to make rehabilitation more accessible and engaging through AR games, despite the high cost of the Magic Leap headset and subscription fees. The company envisions expanding its use to other neurological conditions by 2029.
