This walking assistance system helps Parkinson's patients with Freezing of Gait (FOG) walk independently. The device is mounted on the upper part of the shoe and collects and analyzes the wearer's gait data. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms can detect abnormalities caused by freezing of gait. The device then projects a laser line on the floor and/or triggers a sound signal to help the patient resume walking.
