The device’s working principles is based on hand nerve mechanical stimulation therapy theory. Detailed explanation can be found in the instructions for use, simplified explanatory article or other essays in this website, e.g. VILIM ball technology.

Take the device firmly in your palm, aiming to maximize contact between the device’s surface and your skin. To start the therapy press the button cap using your fingers. Throughout the therapy session, ensure your hand remains relaxed. Avoid strictly tensing or twisting your wrist. It is recommended to use VILIM ball before performing activities in which stable hands are needed.

Yes, by holding the ball in one hand, you can continue the tremor treatment therapy in the other hand.

The VILIM ball device performs artificial intelligence based personalization. It adapts to each person’s hand tremor properties individually. As a result, one VILIM ball should not be used by more than one person.

VILIM ball device therapy sensation is quite unique. Some people describe the sensation as a buzzing or tingling feeling. While the sensation can be intense, it is not painful. Instead, it can be quite relaxing and soothing.

No side effects were found. However, continuous post-market clinical studies are still being performed.

The residual effects of tremor treatment therapy can vary widely and depend on the individual characteristics of each person. In practice, we have noticed that it can last from 10 minutes up to 4 hours.

It is recommended to use the device up to 30 minutes per day for each hand. The recommended duration of therapy is 10 minutes. It may be shorter in individual cases, but this should be determined on a case-by-case basis by monitoring the body’s response.

No studies have been carried out on patients with DBS. Although we do have clients who are successfully using the VILIM ball device, we always strongly recommend consulting your doctor first, before using the VILIM ball. Here is some references that can be given to doctors:

A flashing blue light indicates that the battery is low and the device will soon need to be charged.

The blue light flashes calmly ON and OFF when the charging process is initiated. When the light goes out, it means the device is fully charged.

If the charging cable is connected and the blue light on the light bar does not appear, the device battery is critically low. In this case, the charging cable should be connected in this way for at least another hour.

According to a study by Frost & Sullivan, Assessing the Full Impact of Essential Tremor on Patient Quality of Life and Finances in the United States, families of patients with ET spend $ 3,715 a year for healthcare of minor tremor, $ 7,632 of moderate tremor, and $ 12,289 of severe tremor. It is also necessary to take into account that essential tremor can be a reason for a person to retire earlier or lose his or her ability to work, and this affects both current and future income. By estimating that, VILIM ball device (based on user survey data) reduces hand shake by an average of 1.5 hours, so it is possible to estimate the extent to which the use of the device helps to reduce the costs associated with the disease. In our calculations, we took into account that the device can be used 3 times a day, so we get an average of 4.5 hours a day when hand tremor is milder, which is 28% of the day (minus 8 hours of sleep out of 24 hours a day) or 56% of the workday (8 hours) time. Based on this data, we can estimate the reduction in treatment and care costs, as well as current and future income loss reduction. We have to consider the fact that the VILIM ball device is certified for the European market, so it was decided to introduce denominators of medical costs and revenues so that the survey data could be adapted to this specific market. For this purpose, the May 2020 report of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Health Care Prices and the comparison of net income in the USA and EU countries were used. The calculations estimated that the average US after-tax income is twice as high as in the European Union, and that health sector prices in the EU are 32% lower than in the US. After considering the differences in prices and income, it was estimated that the use of the VILIM ball device saves 301 Euros per year for treatment and care costs and a drop in income of 88 Euros for future annual income in the case of moderate hand tremor.

Yes. The Vilim ball device has a 2-year warranty.
