Inspiration

As professionals working closely with elderly and aged people, we were inspired by the challenge of helping Britain's aging population maintain their independence for longer. We then zeroed in on sufferers of Parkinson's disorder and the challenges of managing a progressive disease - particularly the anxiety that comes with the unpredictability of not being able to control your movements or facial expressions.

What it does

We made a gaming controller tailored to the specific needs of Parkinson's sufferers, particularly measuring their progressive range of motion.

How we built it

Prototyped an early version of a wearable gaming controller with an accelerometer and an Arduino Uno R3.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Early looks-like prototype render of the a wearable controller.
