The technology used in the CUE1 is based on feedback, user testing and published research. Our user testing showed positive results with the CUE1 device across a range of motor tasks including tapping, walking and more real-life experiments.

Our participants have covered most of the Hoehn-Yahr stages of Parkinson’s Disease, and include someone with DBS implanted. Although we had positive results in almost all participants, we aim to carry out further testing with more people and over a longer duration. We will continue to develop the CUE1 even after release to explore just how far we can improve symptoms and quality of life and tailor it to the feedback of users.
We have found that slowness, stiffness and freezing are generally better improved. We have seen less indication that tremor has improved so far. Some users have reported that their tremors feel reduced while using CUE1, but we are yet to formally measure this.
