Española GloveWorks is a charitable 501c3 organization that aims to develop youth creativity, technical competence, and leadership while bringing the hope of a promising technology to people suffering from Parkinson's disease.
This technology is a pair of gloves, invented in the Stanford laboratory of Peter Tass, whose small vibrations of the fingertips have been shown to reduce several of the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's.
To purchase a pair of gloves please complete this order form.
Here is a video demonstration of how to wear and charge the glove. Charging is done through a standard USB C-type connector and cell phone charger - that you can purchase here.
We are grateful for current funding from the Future Focused Education Youth Civic Infrastructure Fund and past funding from the Encantado Foundation.
