Steadiwear has introduced the third generation of its intelligent glove — the Steadi-3. This product aims to alleviate hand tremors associated with conditions like Essential Tremor and Parkinson's disease.
The upgraded intelligent glove has undergone significant advancements. For instance, the device is almost half the size and weight of its predecessor. It uses a magnetic stabilization system that is designed to counter tremors by moving in the opposite direction of a user’s hand movements. This feature helps with improving daily functionality. The Steadi-3 is also battery-free.
The product has garnered positive feedback, with 85% of users in trials reporting improved tremor control. The Steadi-3 is currently available for pre-order in Canada and the U.S., with deliveries expected in early 2025.
