ABOUT LIFTWARE Liftware is a brand name for a spoon designed to counteract the tremor associated with medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease or essential tremors. The company which designed the projects, Lift Labs, was founded by Anupam Pathak. The device works by detecting tremors with an accelerometer then responding to them with an actuator. The product first became available in December 2013.
THE TECHNOLOGY THE LIFTWARE SPOON IS A SELF-STABILIZING UTENSIL THAT COMPENSATES FOR HAND TREMOR. THIS NON-INVASIVE, ASSISTIVE DEVICE INCLUDES A STABILIZING HANDLE, RECHARGEABLE BATTERY, AND THREE ATTACHMENTS: A SOUP SPOON, EVERYDAY SPOON, AND FORK. A COMPUTER AND TWO MOTORS EMBEDDED IN THE HANDLE ACT AS A SENSING MECHANISM (ACTIVE CANCELLATION OF TREMOR TECHNOLOGY), WHICH DETECTS THE DIRECTION OF TREMOR AND MOVES THE UTENSIL ATTACHMENT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 100 GRAMS, AND SIMILAR IN SIZE TO AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH, LIFTWARE IS INTENDED FOR USE IN RESTAURANTS AND AT SOCIAL OCCASIONS, AS WELL AS AT HOME. THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY CAN RUN CONTINUOUSLY FOR 90 MINUTES, AND AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF WHEN THE SPOON IS PLACED FACE-DOWN. THE LIFTWARE UTENSIL HEADS DETACH FROM THE STABILIZING HANDLE FOR CLEANING.
HOW DOES IT WORK? LIFTWARE HELPS TO COUNTERACT HAND TREMORS AND STABILIZE MOVEMENT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO ENJOY A MEAL WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY . LIFTWARE AUTOMATICALLY STABILIZES AND SHAKES 70%* LESS THAN YOUR HAND. WORRY LESS ABOUT SPILLING AND FOCUS ON ENJOYING YOUR MEAL.
ADMINISTRATION AND COST LIFTWARES STARTER KIT WHICH INCLUDES THE STABILIZING HANDLE, CHARGING CRADLE, SOUP SPOON ATTACHMENT, AND STORAGE POUCH RETAILS AT US$295, AND CAN BE PURCHASED ONLINE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE FORK AND EVERYDAY SPOON ATTACHMENTS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY FOR US$19.95. REASONS FOR LAUNCH OF THE PRODUCT EVERYONE EXPERIENCES SLIGHT TREMBLING, WHICH IS NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU HOLD YOUR HANDS IN FRONT OF YOU AND TRY TO KEEP THEM STILL. HOWEVER, MORE SEVERE TREMORS ACCOMPANY A NUMBER OF CONDITIONS, INCLUDING NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS SUCH AS ESSENTIAL TREMOR OR PARKINSON DISEASE. PEOPLE WITH TREMOR OFTEN HAVE DIFFICULTY PERFORMING ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING SUCH AS EATING, WRITING, AND GROOMING, WHICH LIMITS THEIR INDEPENDENCE. BECAUSE TREMOR LIMITS TASKS THAT REQUIRE FINE MOTOR CONTROL, USING EATING UTENSILS CAN BE CHALLENGING AND MAY DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM SHARING MEALS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. EMBARRASSMENT ABOUT TREMOR CAN BE AS EMOTIONALLY BURDENSOME AS THE ACCOMPANYING PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS, CAUSING SOME INDIVIDUALS TO AVOID SOCIAL SITUATIONS AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE.
ADVANTAGES : 1) LIFTWARES PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO CANCEL TREMORS AND KEEP SPILLS AND STAINS FROM HAPPENING . 2) USE FOR ANY MEAL DIFFERENT LIFTWARE UTENSIL ATTACHMENTS CAN BE USED WITH THE STABILIZING HANDLE INCLUDING A SOUP SPOON ATTACHMENT, AN EVERYDAY SPOON ATTACHMENT, AND A FORK ATTACHMENT. 3) CARRY IT WHEREVER YOU GO PLACE LIFTWARE IN ITS STORAGE POUCH, AND BRING IT WITH YOU WHERE YOU GO. A FULL BATTERY CHARGE CAN LAST YOU THROUGH SEVERAL MEALS, SO YOU DONT ALWAYS HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BRINGING THE CHARGER ALONG. 4) SOCIAL BOOST INABILITY TO PERFORM BASIC TASKS OFTEN LEADS TO SOCIAL ANXIETY AND SECLUSION FOR PEOPLE WITH ESSENTIAL TREMOR; PATHAK BELIEVES HIS TECHNOLOGY COULD MITIGATE THAT ISOLATION. 5) EASY AND SAFE LIFTWARES END ATTACHMENTS ARE DISHWASHER SAFE AND SIMPLE TO DETACH.
LIMITATION 1) THE LIFTWARE STABILIZING HANDLE AND UTENSIL ATTACHMENTS CONTAIN SMALL MAGNETS SIMILAR IN STRENGTH TO ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD MAGNETS. IF YOU HAVE A CARDIAC PACEMAKER OR OTHER IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE, YOU MUST KEEP YOUR IMPLANTABLE DEVICE AT LEAST 6 INCHES FROM LIFTWARE BECAUSE IT CONTAINS SMALL MAGNETS. IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR IMPLANTABLE DEVICE, YOU MUST CONSULT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. THERE ARE NO OTHER KNOWN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF LIFTWARE YET. 2) LIFTWARE EATING UTENSILS MAY HELP THOSE WITH MILD TO MODERATE TREMOR, BUT ARE NOT INTENDED FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SEVERE TREMOR. 3) HIGH PRICE THE PRICE AT WHICH LIFTWARE IS SOLD IS QUITE HIGH , IT IS NOT AFFORDABLE BY CERTAIN PEOPLE.
HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST? DEPENDING ON HOW LONG YOUR MEALS LAST, LIFTWARE IS DESIGNED TO LAST BETWEEN 3-6 MEALS ON A SINGLE CHARGE. ITS BATTERY LASTS UPTO 90 MINUTES APPROXIMATELY. PATIENT GROUP PARKINSON DISEASE AFFECTS APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CANADIANS. MOST INDIVIDUALS WITH PARKINSON (70% TO 100%) WILL EXPERIENCE TREMOR. WHILE NEUROLOGISTS AND RESEARCHERS GENERALLY AGREE ON THE SYMPTOMS OF ESSENTIAL TREMOR, THERE IS NO STANDARD DEFINITION AND DIAGNOSTIC ERROR IS COMMON. MANY CASES ARE NOT DIAGNOSED, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AFFECTED. SOME POPULATION-BASED STUDIES SUGGEST A PREVALENCE RATE OF 0.4% TO 3.9%, BUT THESE FIGURES ARE LIKELY UNDERESTIMATES. BOTH ESSENTIAL TREMOR AND PARKINSON DISEASE ARE MORE PREVALENT IN THE ELDERLY.
SCOPE AS MANY AS ONE MILLION AMERICANS LIVE WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. MORE THAN 10 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ARE LIVING WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. APPROXIMATELY 60,000 AMERICANS ARE DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE EACH YEAR, AND THIS NUMBER DOES NOT REFLECT THE THOUSANDS OF CASES THAT GO UNDETECTED. THIS NUMBER IS INCREASING AT A RAPID RATE EACH YEAR. WITH THIS MUCH OF PATIENTS BEING ADDED EACH YEAR LIFTWARE HAS A HUGE SCOPE IN FUTURE . DUE TO THIS THE COMPANY WILL GET MORE CUSTOMERS AND WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE BENEFIT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE PRICE AND EVEN THE COMPANY WOULD SURELY TRY TO IMPROVE THEIR TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE A BETTER PRODUCT AND SATISFY THE CONSUMERS.
THANK YOU
