UniBand

Problem

Every year, roughly 60,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with Parkinson's. However, there is no sustainable service or product that allows individuals with PD and their doctors to consistently track their progress over time and give a clear understanding of their progress changes.

Approach

The team interviewed 25 individuals with PD and 3 doctors to identify specific problems within this community. After designing and creating some prototypes, they ended up with 18 system requirements and 3 rounds of testing and evaluation sessions with 8 participants.

Solution

Uniband is a tremor tracking device and companion mobile app that shows PD progress over time with different medication, diets, and activities reported by users. This device provides an insightful data report of tremor intensity changes to individuals with PD and their doctors to aid their understanding of the disease.
