AI Wristband Calms Essential Hand Tremors

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIxJktKs5gR/Those suffering from essential tremors and wearing a wristband powered by artificial intelligence saw nearly three times the improvement in their ability to complete daily tasks compared to those wearing a sham device.  These promising results of the so-called TRANQUIL study of the Felix NeuroAI wristband were presented by University of Kansas neurologists to this year’s American Academy of Neurology (AAN) meeting.The wristband delivers gentle electrical stimulation to nerves in the wrist and uses AI to adapt in real time to the user’s tremor patterns.  During a randomized, double-blinded 90-day trial with 125 patients at 10 sites in the U.S. and China, those using the device scored significantly higher than control subjects on activities of daily living performance assessments.  The only side effect reported was mild skin irritation.This wristband remains under FDA review, but these early results are promising.   Once approved and available for patients, it will be a safe, non-invasive, and personalized option that could work alongside traditional medications avoiding the need for neurosurgery.https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/ai-powered-wearable-calms-essential-tremor-2025a10008kp?ecd=a2ahttps://www.neurologylive.com/view/felix-neuroai-wristband-demonstrates-superiority-over-sham-device-tranquil-study-essential-tremor#essentialtremor #ai #wristband #electrical
