WeWALK

WeWALK, a revolutionary assistive technology, aims to enhance the mobility and independence of the approximately 253 million visually impaired individuals worldwide. The traditional white cane, a fundamental tool for visually impaired people, has been transformed into the WeWALK Smart Cane, integrating modern technology to provide a safer and more autonomous mobility experience.

The WeWALK Smart Cane detects above-ground obstacles through a front-mounted sensor, employing haptic feedback to warn users of potential hazards. Beyond physical obstacle detection, the smart handle of the cane connects to the WeWALK smartphone app via Bluetooth, offering access to a range of connected mobility services, including navigation, exploration, and public transport information. The integration with the app allows users to control these features through the smart cane’s inbuilt touchpad, promoting single-handed navigation and heightened safety by keeping the smartphone securely in their pocket. The inclusion of a speaker and microphone in the smart handle further facilitates audio feedback, enhancing the overall user experience.

WeWALK’s commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability is evident through its regular software updates, introducing new smart city integrations and services. This approach positions WeWALK as a dynamic and evolving personal hub for the visually impaired community, catering to their unique needs and preferences.
Crucial to WeWALK’s success are its robust research and development partnerships with esteemed institutions such as Imperial College London, RNIB, and Microsoft. These collaborations enable WeWALK to leverage cutting-edge technologies, contributing to the transformation of the lives of visually impaired individuals. With a global impact, WeWALK’s accessible technology solutions have garnered widespread adoption, reaching tens of thousands of users in 59 countries.

The accolades and recognition received by WeWALK underscore its significance and innovation in the assistive technology space. Notable achievements include being selected as Amazon’s Startup of the Year, earning the title of a TIME Best Invention, and receiving an Edison Awards gold distinction. The extensive media coverage, featuring in over 750 outlets including CNN, BBC, Forbes, and Bloomberg, highlights the widespread recognition of WeWALK’s impact on enhancing the lives of visually impaired individuals.

WeWALK’s inclusion in this prestigious list reflects its dedication to creating positive societal change and exemplifies its role as a trailblazer in the field of assistive technology. WeWALK stands as a transformative force, not just as a product but as a catalyst for societal change, fostering social inclusion and empowering visually impaired individuals worldwide.
