Abstract
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative illness that causes movement abnormalities. Because of their dread of retropulsion, many with Parkinson’s disease refuse to leave their rooms and remain immobile. Injury-related permanent impairment exacerbates the issue. Deep brain stimulation is now the sole therapy option for the illness, but it is not accessible for everyone because it is more expensive, intrusive, and requires the installation of electrodes and a pacemaker. While existing methods fail to give long-term relief at a high cost, our discovery helps to slow the course of Parkinson’s disease non-invasively and also provides better therapy to the majority of the senior population with motor problems at a lower cost. Our concept is to create a wearable head cap with motors and drivers that would provide mechanical stimulation in the manner of the ancient Varma medical technique. As it has Bluetooth interference it can be easily connected to android and make it work accordingly. It can give care at home, making therapy outside of hospitals more convenient. We believe that our project’s originality and creativity will help us reach our aim.
