Embodiments regard nutrition assessment using a handheld device. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a handle with a controller within the handle, an attachment arm extending from the handle, and a user-assistive device coupled with an end of the attachment arm, wherein the apparatus is to determine a mass held by the user-assistive device, the determination being made during a task by a user of the handheld tool including manipulation of the handheld tool.

The Ergonomic Handle Scraper includes an ergonomic handle device that may be adapted to perform a wide variety of tasks such as scrubbing, scraping, scooping, cutting, brushing, painting, sanding, grating, shaving, etc. The device may be produced in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and may be constructed from a wide variety of materials and manufacturing processes. The Ergonomic Handle Scraper provides a user with a compact, ergonomic handle which may be used in conjunction with other adjoining and complementary shapes, materials, surfaces, textures or tools. More specifically, the ergonomic handle is the basic component that enables other components to be combined with or extended from the handle.

Implementations of an adaptive assisted grip apparatus are provided. In some implementations, the adaptive assisted grip apparatus comprises a holder and a wrist strap. In some implementations, a method of using the adaptive assisted grip apparatus comprises inserting a makeup applicator or other suitable item into the holder, placing the wrist strap around a user's wrist, grasping and holding the makeup applicator or other suitable item using the holder, and using the wrist strap to prevent the makeup applicator or other suitable item inserted in the holder from falling to the floor/ground or otherwise being dropped if/when the user loses grip of the holder.

Systems and methods for tracking unintentional muscle movements of a user and stabilizing a handheld tool while it is being used by the user are described. The method may include detecting motion of a handle of the handheld tool manipulated by a user while the user is performing a task with a user-assistive device attached to an attachment arm of the handheld tool. Furthermore, the method may include storing the detected motion in a memory of the handheld tool as motion data. The method may also include controlling, based on the motion data, a motion-generating mechanism of the handheld tool that moves the attachment arm relative to the handle in a single degree of freedom in a direction of the detected motion of the handle.
