I came across this article and I think it is great. When I struggle to write, I feel like I've lost a part of a basic function of my life. This seems like it could help.

A pen designed for Parkinson’s patients

Since its founding, SteadyScrib has tested a product on more than 40 individuals in the effort to develop a pen that negates the tremors experienced by Parkinson’s disease sufferers.

Hey @movin_on! How are you feeling today?

Thank you so much for sharing this article! It seems super interesting and could help a lot of people! Writing with Parkinson's disease can be beyond challenging and impossible for some cases, therefore if this pen could work, it would make big innovative progress! I will tag some members, who might find the article interesting and want to share their opinions on it.

Hey everyone! I hope you are having a good day!

What do you think about this article? How are your hand movements and hand control now? Do you think such pen could help with writing? Would you like to try it?

Take care,
