Parkinsons Walking Glasses - Product Testing and Development

目前全球约有1200万人患有帕金森症，而且这个数字还在增长。专家认为，每37人中就有1人会在一生中患上帕金森症，每20人中就有1人年龄在40岁以下。药物被用来治疗帕金森症的症状，但目前还没有治愈这种使人衰弱的疾病的方法。帕金森病的主要症状是：不自主地颤抖、肌肉僵硬、走路拖步、运动缓慢帕金森病的治疗包括帮助解决运动问题的疗法、体育锻炼、药物治疗，有时还包括脑部手术。视觉提示是一种已经在世界各地的物理治疗诊所使用了几十年的方法。它包括在病人面前的地板上用胶带或纸片等“标记”标记出一条路径，当病人走过这些标记时，它们会显示出步幅和速度的立即改善。StrydAR智能眼镜已被开发为一种视觉提示移动设备，以帮助帕金森病患者的行动。通过将“全息标记”投射到用户视野的特定部分，然后使用称为“聚焦到无限”的过程，视觉提示以全息图的形式显示，出现在佩戴者前方2.5米的地方，立即改善大多数人的姿势，平衡和行动能力。不被发现是一个特别的好处，对帕金森社区尤其有意义。这就是为什么我们把我们的眼镜设计成与普通太阳镜几乎没有区别，让佩戴者可以在不被发现残疾的情况下四处走动。我们的眼镜将是市场上第一个可以提供多功能和有效的视觉提示的设备，无论在家里还是在外面，让人们有机会在外面散步和锻炼，让他们过上更加独立和有意义的生活。戴眼镜将减少跌倒的事件，并大大提高：独立性，生活质量，身体活动，社会交往，心理健康，情绪，甚至认知功能。

There are around 12 million people globally who are presently living with Parkinson's with that number set to grow, Experts believe that 1 in 37 people will get Parkinson's in their lifetime and 1 in 20 people will be under the age of 40\.Medication is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's, but at this time there remains no cure for this debilitating disease,The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease are:Involuntary shakingMuscles StiffnessShuffling WalkSlowness of movementTreatments for Parkinson's disease include therapies to help with movement problems, physical activity, medicines, and sometimes brain surgery.Visual Cueing is a method that has been used in physiotherapy clinics all over the world for decades. It involves marking out a pathway on the floor in front of the patient using "Markers" such as lines of tape or pieces of paper, and when the patient walks over these markers, they display an instant improvement in stride length and speed.StrydAR Smart Glasses have been developed as a Visual Cueing Mobility Device to aid the mobility of people who live with Parkinson's.By projecting a "Holographic Marker" into a specific part of the user's field of view, then using a process called "Focused to Infinity" the visual cue is displayed as a hologram that appears 2.5 meters in front of the wearer, instantly improving the Posture, Balance and Mobility of most people.Remaining undetected is a particular benefit that is especially meaningful to the Parkinson community. That's why we have designed our glasses to be practically indistinguishable from a pair of ordinary sunglasses, allowing the wearer to walk around without their disability being detected.Our Glasses will be the first device on the market that can provide a versatile and effective means of delivering visual cues, in and out of the home setting, giving people the opportunity to walk and exercise outside, allowing them to live a more independent and meaningful life.Wearing the glasses will reduce incidents of falling and greatly improve: Independence, Quality of Life, Physical Activity, Social Interaction, Mental Health, Mood, even Cognitive Function.
