TwoCanProject

We have designed an app & wrist-worn device for young people with hemiplegic cerebral palsy to encourage increased use of the affected arm. Next step: pilot it!

[TwoCanProject @TwoCanProject]

Happy to say that we are up and running again and welcoming participants into our #pilotstudy - wrist worn devices & a smartphone app to promote increased use of the affected arm and hand 🙌🏼
