As a someone diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson’s Disease (PD), I look at product design a little differently than the rest of the world. Almost three years ago, I was in an airport watching a PDA user fumble with a stylus. I thought, there must be a better way to manipulate a stylus.

Voila! After three years in development and consultation with designers, engineers, and patent attorneys, TrueTip is now available to you!

After an hour of doodling on the back of an in-flight magazine, I came up with TrueTip finger stylus. It occurred to me that the first thing we do as children is finger paint — not write. It’s only natural to use your finger, but a finger will dirty a handheld screen. It also occurred to me that the closer I was to the screen the more accurate I could be on my handheld device.

TrueTip styli have given me a great benefit, when my hands tremor I gain better control with TrueTip finger stylus than with my stick stylus. I have also noticed that TrueTip finger stylus is very helpful when arm movement is restricted (i.e. a coach airline seat).
