Digital smart Spoon helps people with Parkinson’s

Gyenno has launched a digital smart Spoon and Fork to counteract hand tremors produced by Parkinson's Disease and other conditions

The smart Spoon and Fork senses users’ tremors and uses technology to counteract the tremor and keep the food on the utensil with the company saying that the utensils are capable of offsetting 85% of unwanted tremors.

The Gyenno smart Spoon and Fork also collects data about the tremors that is then stored in the cloud so the device 'learns' more about the tremor.

Gyenno said it uses this information to improve its algorithm so its ability to counteract tremors improves. Plus, the cloud-stored data can be shared with scientists and doctors to create a database of tremor information.

Kang Ren, CEO, Gyenno Technologies, said: "Having hand tremors is very debilitating and the Gyenno smart Spoon and Fork can make life much easier and less stressful for millions of people worldwide suffering from the problem.

“And by collecting data on the tremors, the smart Spoon improves its stability and doctors and scientists can learn more about these conditions."

Gyenno also offers a smartphone app which works with the smart Spoon and Fork.
