Tricking the brain via audio-visual cues to make it send signals via a different set of neurons and make the body move a certain way. Sounds a lot like hypnosis, doesn’t it? Well it might not be hypnosis, but it does help a lot of people with degenerative motor-neuron diseases to move with ease.
On the latest episode of Med Tech Talks with Sidney Collin, CEO and co-founder of De Oro Devices, we chat at length about De Oro, what it does, and the inspiration behind it. Sidney tells us how a simple technology using audio-visual signals has been helping people with Parkinson’s move more comfortably and lead a less dependent life.
