Our team is looking forward to a future where all Parkinsons patients can live completely independent lives and accomplish anything they want.
HOW WE WORK
The GyroTray utilizes state-of-the-art Arduino sensors and mechinization to create platforms to assist patients Starting with a stable platform.
Ideate
Use Computer Aided Design principles to mock up a tray.
Integrate
Combine traditional and mechanized fabrication tools to build a physical manifestation of the designed trays.
Iterate
Repeate the design and building proccesses until we reach a smooth, user-friendly tray
Install
Combine the physical tray with software which uses AI to determine a level position.
A professional's thoughts
I have seen firsthand how patients act today and can see how the GyroTray will help them to eat, drink, and perform other tasks that require stability and coordination, without spilling or dropping anything. The tray's design also makes it more flexible and accessible, allowing patients to rotate it 180 degrees, which can significantly improve their independence. The GyroTray will undoubtedly have a remarkable impact on the lives of people with Parkinson's disease. It has enabled them to perform daily tasks more comfortably, reducing stress and anxiety associated with these activities. The increased level of independence and comfort will have a positive effect on their overall well-being, improving their mood, confidence, and quality of life.
Great effort by the team! I would highly recommend the GyroTray as an excellent tool for people with Parkinson's disease.
