Our Story
As all stories go, ours began with a 103 year old lady in a London hospital.
Our founder, Faii, a medical trainee, was a member of the team looking after her. The team was flummoxed by this lady’s significant weight loss and increasing frailty. Was it malignancy, a systemic disease or a hitherto unknown condition?

Our founder, Faii, a medical trainee, was a member of the team looking after her. The team was flummoxed by this lady’s significant weight loss and increasing frailty. Was it malignancy, a systemic disease or a hitherto unknown condition?
The answer was made apparent when Faii happened upon her at lunch. Our blessed patient, terrible tremors and all, had spent half an hour eating soup – everything went down her front. Faii patiently spent the next half hour tidying her up.
Asking the nurses, they replied, ‘Well, she’s a hundred and three, forgets you in five minutes, has those really bad shakes, and her medications have stopped working. There’s nothing we can do.’
Not one to take no for an answer, GyroGear was thus born.

Our Founder
Dr. Faii Ong is the founder of GyroGear Ltd and the inventor behind GyroGlove. Inspired by a 103-year-old Parkinson’s patient that he saw at the cafeteria who had difficulties feeding herself, Faii came up with a solution — a wearable technology designed to reduce hand tremors in the 200 million people suffering from bodily tremors globally.
Drawing upon his background in medicine, science and bioengineering, Faii Ong sought to innovate at the intersection of all three fields. He earned his medical degree at Imperial College London and previously participated in high-profile research at Harvard Medical School and in Harvard-MIT’s Health Science and Technology Division, where he focused on medical devices, regenerative medicine, and stem cell therapy.
Along with his team of precision engineers and healthcare experts, GyroGear was awarded $3.3+ million in grant money, from the UK government and EU Horizon 2020 and walked away as the first runner-up in Southeast Asia’s SLINGSHOT 2020, a start-up competition with 7500+ competing entries after four years after GyroGear’s incorporation.
In 2021, Foxconn announced a collaboration with Gyrogear to build an R&D center in Taiwan for the development of software, applications, and devices in digital healthcare that incorporates AI machine learning as well as clinical big data research, according to the company.
