This Tremor Tracking Wearable Lets Parkinson's And ET Patients Take Charge
Pakistan doesn't have much of a hardware and healthcare tech scene, nevermind VC firms or angel investors. So says Fawad Bhatti, the fresh faced founder of Trequant who graduated from the country's National University of Sciences and Technology in Islamabad last year.
The engineering student turned CEO has just launched Trequant, his tremor tracking wearable aimed at Parkinson's and Essential Tremor (ET) patients, on Kickstarter and, even though he's speaking to us from Islamabad where he's overseeing his technical team, he sticks to Silicon Valley timezones. That's where part of his team are based and where his startup got its big break thanks to Google for Entrepreneurs and the Blackbox accelerator.
