About the solution
Hen Yin Qi was driven to invent this solution because her aunt suffers from Parkinson’s disease and struggles with simple tasks.
"I could see her struggling with drinking water or writing because her hands were shaking", the inventor explained.
The innovation - called Shaky - is a device that can be attached to objects such as utensils, plates and cups to monitor tremors, aimed at helping to manage Parkinson's disease and perform simple daily tasks like drinking. It can also counter the tremors and stabilise the objects.
The team entered the 2018 Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition and Shaky got among the 10 shortlisted submissions.
The two students plan to further develop the gadget so it can also serve as a solution to turbulence on an airplane.

My husband was diagnosed of Parkinson’s Disease a couple of years ago, he had severe fatigue, difficulty with mobility and sleeping. He was placed on Sinemet 3 times daily, which helped but only for a short while. So, we decided to try alternative treatment and began on PD-5 protocol, it has made tremendous difference for my husband, he had improved walking balance, muscle strength and he is now very active. His Parkinson’s is totally under control, we got the treatment from binehealthcenter. com. This treatment is a breakthrough for PWP!
