Trequant is a bio-informatics wearable designed specifically for diagnosing and classifying tremor basedmovement disorders
including Parkinson’s, essential tremor, dystonia and others. Tremors affects 221 million people worldwide including 15
million from USA and it is one of the most prevalent and incurable neurological disorder. The complete end-to-end solution
we are providing includes a wearable device, an app on a mobile device, and our data analytics platform in the cloud. Currently
Trequant device is being used by more than 50 patients and 2 hospitals. With the results and data recorded from our device,
doctors are better able to understand their patient’s condition and with the help of our remote monitoring portal and they can
see the effect of the prescribed medicine and can customize the type and dosage of the medicine according to every individual
