UK-based handSteady launched a cup to make drinking easy for disabled and elderly which was designed by inventor Chris Peacock.
Chris Peacock designed handSteady after his close family member was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and was struggling to hold a cup steady.
Peacock developed handSteady with 35 health professionals and 72 people with various ailments.
Guys and St Thomas' Charity's Michael Wright said they were happy to have supported the development of handSteady, a simple idea that promises to improve drastically the quality of life of people living with certain disorders .
Guys and St Thomas' Charity have invested £50K in the project, and the cup was made in Britain, by a precision manufacturing company which ensured that the product met ISO9001 standards.
handSteady, which has been launched, comes with a lid, a hidden base accessory and is available for free worldwide shipping from www.handsteady.com.
handSteady has won awards from Lord Snowdon and Help the Aged, BBC News, CNET Asia and Gizmodo.
