Lift Labs has developed a high-tech spoon to replace frustration with fun for
those who combat tremors and find eating a difficult experience - and Google
wants in.

Google has acquired Lift Labs, makers of a smart spoon which combats tremors
suffered by those with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

San Francisco-based Lift Labs is the developer of smart eating equipment
laden with sensors which detect tremors in the hand and compensate
accordingly. The creators of the product, which comes with multiple
attachments including a spoon, fork, and deep soup spoon, say these sensors
then relay tremor data to make the equipment stabilize itself in response.
