Design and Development of Wearable Vibration Assist Device for Tic Management

This project focuses on the design and development of a wearable vibration assist device aimed at managing tics, particularly in individuals with conditions like Tourette syndrome. The device uses advanced motion sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, to detect abnormal movements associated with tics in real-time. Upon detection, the device activates a vibration mechanism that provides sensory feedback, helping to interrupt or reduce the frequency of tics. The vibration settings are customizable, allowing users to adjust intensity, frequency, and duration for personalized management. The wearable design is lightweight, discreet, and comfortable, making it suitable for continuous use throughout the day without causing discomfort or drawing attention. This non-invasive, drug-free approach offers a promising alternative to traditional treatments, empowering users to manage their tics more effectively. By providing a subtle yet effective solution, the device enhances the user’s quality of life and reduces the social stigma often associated with visible tics
