This patent could mean Microsoft's return to wearables with a bracelet for therapeutic stimulation

Microsoft is opening up new fields of development It is no longer the company it was and the figures we are seeing in recent years attest to this months. It is the company with the best projection towards users in the United States and for a brief period of time it was the one with the highest value in terms of capitalization, surpassing the almighty Apple.

The truth is that Microsoft no longer bases its full potential on a Windows that is giving it enough headaches, not just for its growth, because it goes like a rocket, but because of the failures that are being found.Along with Windows appear applications for other platforms, its commitment to Virtual Reality, the declared love of open source _software_ or its inclusion in the _hardware_ market with high-quality products. Different paths of growth that have their origin in many cases in patents such as the one at hand.

And it is that the colleagues of Windowslatest have had access to a new patent that indicates that Microsoft could once again look towards the wearables market , a niche in which it has not been present since it stopped betting on the Microsoft Band 2.

A patent that presents a kind of bracelet that highlights the adoption of various haptic engines, of the style that we can find in consoles and mobile phones. These tiny motors would work in conjunction with a series of sensors with the aim of mitigating the tremors of people suffering from Parkinson's.In fact, the document talks about a portable device that uses haptic actuation for therapeutic stimulation

A disease that among its conditions stands out for causing tremors, slow movements, rigidity in the muscles that can make it difficult to carry out daily activitiesThis possible bracelet would be intended to reduce the user's involuntary movements in a joint.

In addition, the patent makes mention to the inclusion of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity which indicates that we could surely pair this bracelet with our _smartphone_ or tablet through the appropriate app to control different parameters and manage the data that the bracelet could obtain.

There are no more details about it, so we will have to wait to see if this patent finally materializes into something real and tangible
