- Nowadays, there is a substantial increase in the number of people getting affected by Parkinson's Disease. The degradations of motor skills severely affect the daily activities of patients such as eating, writing, dressing, etc. This project basically proposes a non-invasive device that helps the patient to eat and perform day to day chores independently using the given attachments. This device consists of Arduino which directs the two stepper motor to cancel the tremors detected by the Inertial Measurement Unit (MPU6050) containing 3 axis gyroscope and 3 axis accelerometer which senses these tremors.
