Isowalk
Curated by SignalHardware and software platform for advanced mobility assistance
Overview
Isowalk, formerly known as Kineticane, offers a smart mobility aid designed to replace the walking cane. The device adapts to the user’s weight, wrist pressure, and gait, providing customized cushioning as the user walks. Also promoted to be self propulsive, having the ability to position itself for each next step with minimal user effort. Its gait-mapping, analytics and communications capabilities re-invent the mobility aid as a smart object, and quantify gait health as a 6th vital sign for medical professionals. Its monitoring and reporting features provide remote wellness and progress tracking for physicians, therapists, and caregivers. It also provides Isowalk ergonomics to align the hand, wrist, and arm into ideal orthopedic loading positions. Currently in development stage. Development partners include the UCLA Wireless Health Institute and Karten Design.
