"Today at Build 2017, Microsoft unveiled many cool new technologies, but there was one particular announcement that truly touched the hearts of many in attendance. Called "Emma," it is a wrist wearable that can help people suffering with Parkinson's disease.

My question, too. The creator, Ms. Zhang, has never replied to my 3 emails. If I ever hear from her, I'll report back to y'all.

Is it on the market yet? If so, how much is it?

Apparently, it is still far away from the market place. A lot of research needs to be done first, all the more so since PD is so wildly variable amongst its victims.
