If you threw a dart at a world map right now, you’d undoubtedly hit a place where food is the great equalizer.
Deals are made, relationships are forged, and accomplishments are celebrated over food in every hemisphere. For millions of people worldwide who suffer from conditions like Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor, however, eating is a complicated and often embarrassing experience, especially when done in public.
That’s where the designers behind Liftware come in.
These tech industry innovators created a self-stabilizing utensil that has the power to help those dealing with hand tremors enjoy this simple pleasure again.
Whether users’ respective tremors are mild or severe, Liftware is designed to give people the sense of agency, control, and independence they deserve.
Anyone with a tremor condition can tell you that the moments of which that condition robs them add up into years of missed experience. With one little utensil, they can take those moments back.
