Each year 60,000+ Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s. More than 10 million individuals have Parkinson’s disease worldwide and there are an estimated 10 million individuals with Essential Tremors in the US alone. Evidence suggests that our products may also be beneficial for Cerebellar Tremors, Functional Tremors, Multiple Sclerosis, or veterans with a debilitating hand tremor.
SteadiWare’s patented and affordable utensils stabilize hand tremors while eating in 9/10 individuals with Parkinson’s/ET. Other products don’t even come close to delivering the same level of independence, confidence and a sense of normalcy to those with debilitating hand tremors, and they require batteries, attachments and are super pricey.
Dan Wilson, creator of the SteadiWare line of eating utensils, was a brilliant and caring man who wanted nothing more than to help people. When diagnosed with Parkinson’s himself, Dan searched far and wide for a utensil that would allow him to eat in spite of his hand tremors. His search was fruitless. Being a consummate problem-solver, he decided to create his own set of utensils for himself. Dan found them to be so successful that he wanted others with hand tremors to have them as well. He applied for and gained a patent on the utensils in 2013. SteadiWare LLC is realizing Dan’s dream of helping the millions who will benefit greatly from his ingenious design.
