A bracelet that was presented at “Microsoft Build 2017”
Microsoft’s Build conference discuss in priority applications development or artificial intelligence.
This year, an object had all our attention: a bracelet presented by the searcher, Haiyan Zhang who encountered Emma Lawton, a graphist of 33 years old who has Parkinson’s disease.
It’s well known, that one of the principal symptoms of Parkinson’s is tremor. This symptom stops the ability to draw or to write.
“Emma” a bracelet to help rewrite its own name again
This bracelet is still in the state of prototype and is called “Emma”: the name of the person affected.
With a smartphone application, it uses vibrations to manipulate the brain who sends usually erroneous signs to muscles.
“The vibrations from the bracelet seem to reduce the signs scented to the wrist, which allows to the brain to focalise on the task to accomplish”, explains Microsoft.
This advance is encouraging for the persons who have Parkinson’s Disease, even if it’s just a prototype for now. In the future, Microsoft explains that the society will work on ameliorating “Emma” and that he is considering larger scale trials.

Where can i purchase one of these?
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis MS in 2011 after a 2nd bout with optic neuritis (right eye). Same neurologist/same treatment (Avonex) until just last month i was introduce to Total cure herbal foundation who help me get rid of the MS totally you can search for them on Google! So many other doors are open since seeking a herbal natural formula.I honestly went through over 100 doctors if not more. I suffered what seemed to be a stroke but was told it wasn’t a stroke. I found out through a spinal tap that I had MS..this herbal foundation was my survival; Totalcureherbalfoundation gmailcom
