Graphic designer Emma Lawton was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease three years ago\u00a0at the age of 29. Now, with the help of a BBC project and Haiyan Zhang,\u00a0Microsoft Research Cambridge\u2019s innovation director, she\u2019s been able to use a wearable device to reclaim her lifelong passion for drawing and sketching.<\/p>\n

The Big Life Fix<\/em>\u00a0is a BBC series that got underway Wednesday. Lawton was featured in the first episode of the series, which focuses\u00a0on people in need who turn to some of the United Kingdom\u2019s top inventors for solutions to problems that affect their day-to-day life.<\/p>\n

Other projects being tackled by the show include a solution for a terminally ill photographer who can no\u00a0longer operate a camera, and the construction of a specialized BMX bike for a child born with no hands or feet.<\/p>\n

Parkinson\u2019s disease can cause sufferer\u2019s hands to shake uncontrollably, making even simple actions almost impossible to carry out. Lawton\u2019s tremor was becoming so severe that her career as a graphic designer was in serious jeopardy, according to a report from\u00a0MS Power User<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zhang\u00a0previously created cutlery for disabled people that reacts to their movements to avoid spilling food. Building upon that foundation, she was able to create a wrist-worn device \u2014 dubbed the Emma \u2014 that\u00a0helps facilitate drawing and sketching by counteracting the impulses being sent to the wearer\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n

The Emma intentionally shakes the user\u2019s arm, interrupting the feedback loop that impedes normal movement. While wearing the device, Lawton was able to\u00a0draw straight lines, and even write legibly. Since the BBC program was filmed, she\u2019s apparently been wearing the Emma on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Zhang currently has no plans to develop the Emma into a commercial release, having designed the device to fit Lawton\u2019s particular needs. However, she hopes that others will take the basis of the technology and continue to develop it further.<\/p>\n

Microsoft featured the Emma during a keynote at Build 2017, showing clips from\u00a0The Big Life Fix<\/em>, and inviting Zhang and Lawton up on stage with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always inspired when I listen to these stories of an individual developer who develops a deep sense of empathy for a scenario, and other human beings, and then goes after it with this most malleable of resources we have \u2014 software \u2014 and changes the world,\u201d said Nadella, introducing the video detailing the project.<\/p>\n
