Smart Assistive Spoon for people with Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement. To overcome the above problem an Adjustable Parkinson’s spoon was designed for the Parkinson’s sufferer while eating which help to control the tremor violated, to achieve the project objectives an Arduino NANO, servo motors, and gravity sensor were used. The objective of this project was to keep the spoon always in an upward direction so that the food does not fall down while eating, the designed spoon has been experimented with and tested and showed reliable results by forcing the spoon to face upwards so that the food does not fall down from the spoon.
