"Wearable Device Alleviates Parkinson's Symptoms"
Lucy Yung, an industrial designer, developed a wearable device called CUE1 through her startup Charco Neurotech, which uses rhythmic vibrations to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The noninvasive and inexpensive device has been used by over 2,000 people in the UK and has a waiting list of almost 20,000 across 120 countries. Charco Neurotech aims to get the device approved by regulators for prescription through healthcare systems and is working on developing a feedback system for automatic adjustment based on user movement.
