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.
For help wearing the gloves and charging the batteries please watch this video
We now have a companion App for Android and iphone. The app can be used to change the vibration amplitude and timings of your glove. It can also monitor your gate and voice and track your progress over time. Here is a brief demo video. If you opt-in to our research study then your voice and gate scores (along with your list and dosages of PD medications) will be shared with Espanola GloveWorks in accordance with our privacy policy.
Android Users. The Espanola GloveWorks App is available at the google play store.
iPhone Users. The app is available by invitation. Send an email to steve.cox@nnmc.edu with the email address associated with your Apple ID. I will then trigger an email from Apple, once you click "agree" on their conditions I will trigger a second email from Apple that will contain a code that you can use to access The Espanola GloveWorks App through the Apple TestFlight App.
To share glove experiences with one another please join our Facebook Discussion Group
We are grateful for funding from the
Future Focused Education Youth Civic Infrastructure Fund (including 1st funding of this new proposal)
