Liftware is a brand name for a spoon designed to counteract the tremor associated with medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease[1] or essential tremors. The company which designed the projects, Lift Labs, was founded by Anupam Pathak.[2]
The device works by detecting tremors with an accelerometer then responding to them with an actuator.[3] The product first became available in December 2013.[4]
Lift Labs was acquired by Google in September 2014 for integration into then life sciences division of Google X.[5] and Pathak became a senior hardware engineer for the division.[2]
Google launched its version of the spoon in November 2014, priced at $ US 195.[6]
