TREMO: AI-Powered Wristband for Non-Invasive Hand Tremor Suppression

TREMO, a wearable, non-invasive wristband designed to suppress hand tremors associated with Parkinson’s disease and Essential Tremor through real-time adaptive vibration feedback. The system integrates embedded inertial sensors, edge-based signal processing to detect pathological tremors within the clinically relevant 3 to 12 Hz range , responding through targeted counter-vibrations on a one-second update cycle to ensure maximum frequency stability, high spectral resolution, and a comfortable user experience. Designed for daily use, the device emphasizes comfort, portability, and autonomy, featuring a compact, lightweight form factor and battery-powered operation suitable for continuous wear. By performing all sensing and actuation directly on the device, TREMO ensures low latency, privacy, and robustness in real-world environments.

Beyond hardware functionality, TREMO incorporates a companion mobile application that serves as the primary interface between the user and the wearable, enabling real-time control, visualization of tremor activity, and long-term progress tracking. The system adheres to internationally recognized medical and communication standards, supporting safety, interoperability, and future clinical integration. As a drug-free alternative to conventional tremor management methods, TREMO addresses key limitations of invasive treatments while aligning with global health and innovation goals. Overall, the project demonstrates the potential of intelligent wearable technology to restore independence, confidence, and quality of life for individuals living with movement disorders through a user-centered, engineering-driven solution.
