ASU Students Working To Develop A Sleeve To Counteract Parkisons’ Tremors
An Engineering Projects In Community Service, or EPICS, student team is combining digital signal processing with accelerometer and gyroscope technologies to minimize negative health impacts of Parkinson’s disease — a neurodegenerative condition that causes people to loose muscle control. Fulton Schools electrical engineering student Dylan Levine leads of the Parkinson’s Sleeve development group. The device analyzes tremors and the signal processing send an electrical signal through a specially designed sleeve to the arm to stop the tremor. After work on the prototype, the team will test data and fine-tune the technology, says Jared Schoepf, an associate teaching professor in Engineering Academic & Student Affairs.
