Is Google’s Spoon beneficial for patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease?

Yes, Google's Spoon is beneficial for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease and u are right the spoon senses the way of hand shaking and adjust itself to stay balanced. Till now in clinical trials,the lift ware spoons reduced the shaking of the spoon bowl by an average of 76 percent.

Working:

As you can see in the picture the Google's spoon not like ordinary spoon. They're designed for people whose hands shake, whether from essential tremour or neurodegenerative disorder. Embedded in their oversized handles is an electronic system that senses the tremours and responds with counter_movements designed to keep the the spoon's business relatively stable. The handle moves, but the business end stays relatively stable, so the food doesn't fall on its way to your mouth.
