There is no cure and existing treatment e ffectiveness declines as the disease progresses. Recent research at Stanfo rd University has shown promise in using specific patterns of vibration ap plied to the fingertips to provide a lasting reduction in symptoms without the typical side effects of medication.\n\nThis talk will cover an introd uction to Parkinson’s disease\, describe the Vibro-tactile Coordinated R eset (VCR) research and results obtains by Dr. Peter Tass at Stanford\, an d efforts by a group\, of which I am part\, to replicate the Stanford rese arch to benefit our friends and family.\n\nI will show several iterations of our hardware for the electronics\, vibrating tactors\, and the gloves t hat couple the vibration to the patient’s fingertips. This includes 3D p rinting of finger “cups” to hold the vibrating tactors\, wired and wir eless versions of the control electronics and a unique solution to obtain sub-1millisecond timing accuracy across a Bluetooth connection linking a p air of wireless VCR gloves.\n\nSlides at: [Vibro-Tactile Gloves](https://d ocs.google.com/presentation/d/19NVqjFcT0FMNseuHeAuFtmJ0l5fYjHj4/edit?usp=s haring&ouid=110112316206374755710&rtpof=true&sd=true)\n\nThis will also be streamed online on GoToWebinar.
