Spoon for unsteady hands now available from Google-acquired start-up

SENSOR-BLE SPOON: Google has funded the start-up that created a spoon with sensors for those with Parkinsons disease.

Called Liftware, once its sensors detect the user's tremors, the spoon responds by neutralising their effect, for the lower half moves independently of the upper.

According to Lift Labs, the algorithm-loaded spoon is capable of canceling 70% of tremors, making it possible for those suffering diseases such as Parkinsons to keep their food on the spoon while eating.
