Lift Labs, an innovative technology company that is owned by Google, has developed a self-stabilizing device that can be used to steady objects held by the trembling hands of those with essential tremor. The Liftware handle with spoon and fork attachments allows someone with a hand tremor to eat challenging foods such as soup, peas or gelatin with a smoother motion. The device works by sensing in real time the direction and intensity of the tremor and counteracting the undesired motion with two tiny motors in the handle of the utensil.
