Does anyone know when we can get them and how? Thanks
Has anyone heard about when Peter Tass 's... - Cure Parkinson's
Has anyone heard about when Peter Tass 's vibrating glove is out?
Please watch this recent presentation and Q&A.
did he really answer the question TL500 asked though? I listened and thought he really didn't give a defined answer. maybe he just doesn't know.
synergic lab in Eugene Oregon is running a trial
This is from the video transcript. Note the time stamp and go to that part of the video:
49:08
what is the timeline or availability to the public
it's it's difficult to tell because it
49:17
um it it really depends on for example in very specific just one important
49:22
aspect as I told you about the racing car we expect this car to be very fast
49:28
and really super compared to the previous one but we have to know exactly how much faster it is and this will
49:35
influence the FDA approval trial we're going to do this will influence the time
49:41
points of the of the outcome outcome measures and I hope that in let's say
49:48
one and a half to two years or so we'll have this product available
their intention would be 1/2 to 2 years. The first kanwar bhuttani. videos came out in 2018. covid was obviously seriously disruptive. But these things have a habit of being delayed
Well. We have an official stanford trial again. Initial trial of the new glove. 10 people 2 years, completes late 2025clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show...
So that means the gloves won't be out on market until after 2025?
Well. It's a bit confusing. Although that is a new trial, yet to recruit, they appear to be re-using the template from the previous trial which they withdrew. It's only 10 people and open label. So for fda approval I would have thought they would need a larger placebo double blind trial of the same length. Maybe they would run that in parallel. If not, and they are going to wait for the conclusion of this one, then maybe 2027 or 2028
The question that I asked on the seminar was why they felt they needed to let perfect get in the way of good.
I am happy to have a Ford Fiesta today rather than a race car in 4 years. I can also afford a Ford Fiesta, and keep it running. Perhaps the Synergic glove is the non race car version.
The DIY work is incredibly important if only to keep the pressure on to bring the "official" version to market and to keep pressure on the cost. The opensource work on 3d Printing was what dramatically transformed the industry, created new markets and reduced costs by an order of magnitude.
To appease the stakeholders and make a substantial profit. They are working the IP Attorneys hard protecting their “new” position having disclosed too much freely in the past.
JCRO, I agree that this is a not unlikely scenario. Certainly, once the device is on the market it will be quite easy to reverse engineer and anything that is not in the patents or is based on ideas in the papers but before the patents will be broadly available quite quickly particularly in countries with a low bar for non invasive medical devices.
The new glove may be a bit trickier to reverse engineer on a DIY basis since it probably involves monitoring brain activity and varying the vCR to match the feedback
Where did you see that? Was it in a new clinical trial description, published patent or some other presentation? I am afraid I missed that announcement.
Generally, I think closed loop makes sense. However, closed loop is not yet implemented in most DBS systems today, where it also makes sense, which suggests that the 'racing car glove' make take even longer to arrive. Unless Peter Tass is the Elon Musk of DBS/vCR.
Have you heard of the Cue1? It's also a wearable device, a sort of "button" that you place on your sternum, which has shown to reduce or eliminate many of the Parkinson´s symptoms. It does so by delivering " specialised patterns of vibration and pulses, known as ‘vibrotactile stimulation and cueing’, which improves motor skills, walking parameters, and reduces freeze-of-gait and stiffness". It's a real breakthrough, maybe not as powerful as Dr. Tass´s glove, maybe not a "race car" but a good enough Ford Fiesta that is already available for purchase. Designed by recent graduates of Imperial College and Cambridge University, it has been selling in the UK (there's a waiting list) and is being introduced in some of the NHS hospitals (no years-long FDA testing here).
Apparently, it works. I'm on the waiting list in Spain and am very excited because yesterday they informed me that they've arrived in Spain, and I'm one of the first on the mailing list, so I can now purchase one. 340€. I bought it yesterday and should receive it in about a week.
This is good competition for the glove, hope it helps to speed things along!
