Cue Band’ to counter drooling enrolling patients for at-home testing

[Farooqji]

Cue Band is a wearable wristband, similar to a smartwatch, that delivers a vibration ‘cue’ to instruct a patient to swallow. As such, it aims to counter drooling without the need for oral medications like glycopyrronium bromide, or for botox injections into the salivary gland that generally have to be repeated every three months and can cause dry mouth.

my husband participated in the last trial ,it lasts 10 weeks and is divided into 2 sections.The first few weeks you receive “ nudges” every set time from the Cueband watch that you are supplied with.Then there is a break,and the last few weeks the vibratory reminders are programmed through your mobile phone.You get to keep the watch at the end of the research period.The watch worked well,the phone didn’t.We had initial problems downloading the soft ware,but after that it was fine.

I could do with one to remind me to relax my left arm. It prefers to be flexed at the elbow unless I'm using it. Bloody stupid arm!
