Artificial muscles for tremor suppression

Artificial muscles for tremor suppression

Scientists have developed a biorobotic arm that can mirror human tremors, such as those experienced by individuals that live with Parkinson's disease. Artificial muscles on either side of the forearm contract and relax to suppress the involuntary shaking of the wrist and hand. The researchers see their biorobotic arm not only as a platform for other scientists in the field to test new ideas in exoskeleton technology. The arm also serves as a tes…

Rune Labs has launched StrivePD Guardian, a personalized care delivery service to help Parkinson’s disease patients manage their condition more effectively by combining expert coaching with artificial intelligence (AI)-driven health monitoring. The program pairs the StrivePD mobile app with an Apple watch, offering users continuous monitoring of symptoms and daily routines. The data are used to help optimize patient care and disease management b…

Scientists at the Center for Bionic Intelligence Tübingen Stuttgart (BITS) have developed a biorobotic arm equipped with artificial muscles that supports Parkinson's patients in everyday life.The aim is to develop portable exoskeletons and advance further technologies.
