Engineer builds wearable that helps people with Parkinson’s walk when their feet freeze

Amey Desai, an electrical engineer, has created a wearable device called 'WALK' to assist people with Parkinson’s disease who experience freezing of gait. His journey began with a fascination for neuroscience and human movement, which deepened when he witnessed his grandfather's struggles with mobility. Through Lifespark Technologies, Amey aims to enhance everyday movement for those with neurological conditions. This innovative device not only addresses physical movement but also restores independence and confidence to its users.
