This reminds me of a product I saw linked in HN, at least once, but I think it deserves a mention since it serves some of the same audience:

Disclosure: I have no relationship with the dev, just think it could be useful for some folks. I almost recommended it to a colleague before thinking better if it since it would infringe on them.

Also the Emma Watch [1]. Mechanically it's related to the spoon, but simpler in that it just generates white noise rather than trying to explicitly counter the tremors. The theory is that Parkinsons causes the brain-muscle feedback loop to overshoot and the white noise eases the overshoot.
