Kunal Mankodiya, director of University of Rhode Island's Wearable Biosensing Laboratory, said he is researching how to transform gloves, socks, clothing and even shoes into high-tech items that will make people healthier and improve their lives. "Patients with Parkinson's face many mobility issues - driving and even walking long distances," Mankodiya said.
