Empowering people living with Parkinson's Disease
through inclusive and accessible technology.
Enhancing computer keyboard interaction.
To address the motor challenges caused by
tremors and bradykinesia.
​OnCue is a modular, ergonomic keyboard with wearable cuffs that combine haptic and visual cues to alleviate Parkinson’s symptoms. The compact design is split for a natural posture and ortholinear for smoother key transitions. Vibrations from both the keys and cuffs help maintain rhythm, while AI-driven visual cues guide typing. Customizable and modular, OnCue adapts to individual needs, providing a fully personalized experience.
Project Overview
Challenge
People living with Parkinson’s struggle with tremors and impaired fine motor skills. The keyboard—our gateway to the digital world—becomes a daily barrier, making digital tasks frustrating and leading to
social isolation.
Target Group
Individuals in early to mid-stage Parkinson’s
(a progressive neurological disorder) remain
physically independent, yet struggle with
keyboards due to motor symptoms.
They rely on computers for daily tasks like
work, communication, and online services.
OnCue’s raised-edge keycaps help manage tremors
for more stable, accurate typing.
