Meet Utkarsh Tandon, an Indian American kid from California, who has invented something amazing. This high schooler has turned his science fair project into an actual ring for patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s disease affects nearly 10 million people all over the world.

The model named OneRing – inspired from the ring in JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings – is aimed at helping these patients.

The plastic ring contains a microchip. Using an algorithm, the ring classifies the wearer’s movements and records them. The motions are categorised into three levels – Dyskinesia, Bradykinesia, and tremor. The recording is sent to an app, which compiles the data into a daily report. The data is sent to the patient’s doctor, allowing him or her to monitor the symptoms and modify the treatment accordingly.
