GyroGlove is a wearable active device based on miniaturised gyroscopes, designed to suppress the hand tremor commonly seen in people suffering from Parkinson’s Disease (PD) or Essential Tremor (ET). With the help of Innovate UK Proof of Concept (PoC) grant we have taken the idea from very early lab simulators through to functional prototypes. These were tested on PD and ET patients in lab conditions. We were able to demonstrate a 50% reduction in tremor in half of the tests and as much as 95% in one case. GyroGlove has commenced pre-production development (as of Nov 2017). The team has achieved TRL 6 as of this application and demonstrated proof-of-concept with group patient tests (30 users). The GyroGlove form-factor comprises a lightweight/comfortable mount for an enclosed gyroscope which spins at approximately 20,000 RPM. By stabilising the hand directly, the GyroGlove is targeted at multi-function use (eating, drinking, writing, selfcare etc.) to return independence and freedom to users. Given development and user testing success thus far, the phase 2 project will enable us to: finalise engineering design specification; build functional and pre-production prototypes; transfer to manufacture; conduct clinical trials and gain regulatory approval; develop supply chain agreements and commercial contracts ready for full commercialisation and multiple-market entry in Q4 2022 . ver más
