    It's hard not to get sweaty walking around here at Computex in Taipei, but Tony Cueva Bravo had moist palms for another reason. The Peruvian entrepreneur suffers from hyperhidrosis, a condition that triggers excessive sweating, causing his hands to get frequently and uncomfortably moist. Hyperhidrosis can be off-putting and embarrassing, so Bravo did what any enterprising 24-year-old would do: He rounded up a team to find a fix and build a product to address it. Meet the Handrop, an orange-and-white potential game-changer that sits on your desk like a computer mouse.
