Project Description:

Dextera by Neerja Modi School is an accessible, 3D-printed wearable device designed to counteract hand tremors for under $100. It operates through a continuous closed-loop system in which sensors distinguish between intentional movement and pathological tremors in real time. A microprocessor then actively stabilises motion by absorbing and cancelling tremors, while wirelessly transmitting tremor health data to a connected mobile device. The project aims to restore mobility, support essential daily activities and empower STEM leaders. By combining affordability with advanced engineering, Dextera demonstrates how STEM innovation can directly improve quality of life.
