AI Mobility Platform

The AI Mobility Platform for Orientation & Mobility Professionals — Powered by WeWALK Smart Cane 2

AI Mobility (AIM) strengthens mobility training for visually impaired people by turning data from everyday cane use into clear, practical feedback. Developed with Microsoft, AIM supports today’s training programs while enabling the future of rehabilitation and healthcare.

The Smart Cane Built for Mobility Training and Rehabilitation

What is AI Mobility?

AI Mobility (AIM) is WeWALK’s training and outcomes platform, built on the WeWALK Smart Cane and companion app. It captures movement and cane-use data through onboard sensors and turns it into insights that support training, rehabilitation, and ongoing follow-up.

Powered by AI, AIM can measure indicators such as cane angle to the ground, sweep consistency, walking distance, step count, and changes over time that may reflect confidence and stability. These insights are presented in purpose-built dashboards that make progress easier to review and, with consent, share across rehabilitation and training teams.

The Benefits of AI Mobility

Progress and Continuity

AIM helps mobility professionals review patterns from training sessions and everyday use, based on the data the person chooses to share, making it easier to compare progress across sessions and focus support where it matters most.

Remote Follow-Up

Training providers can review at-home practice and agreed tasks using objective data, helping sessions focus on the right adjustments.

Personalised Training

By highlighting strengths and areas to develop, AIM helps teams tailor guidance and content to each visually impaired person.

Outcomes and Reporting

Organisations can measure service impact across cohorts, track reach over time, and report outcomes to stakeholders using a consistent, metrics-led approach.

Getting Started with AI Mobility

AI Mobility gives Orientation & Mobility professionals a clear, data-driven view of each learner’s progress; including their walking routes, cane sweep consistency, cane angle to the ground, step count, walking distance, and changes in movement patterns over time, all visible directly within the AIM dashboard.

Getting started is simple:

Purchase AI Mobility — After purchasing AI Mobility, send us an email at [email protected] to activate your organisation’s AIM platform.
Equip learners with the WeWALK Smart Cane 2 — Each learner should use the Smart Cane 2 during training sessions and everyday mobility.
Connect to the WeWALK App — Learners pair their Smart Cane 2 with the WeWALK App on their smartphone to begin capturing mobility data automatically.
Access your dashboard — Training professionals log in to the AIM dashboard to review session data, walking routes, movement patterns, and progress over time.
Track, tailor, and report — Use the insights to personalise training, support remote follow-up, and report outcomes across your cohort — all with learner consent.

Watch Dr. Sean Tikkun introduce AI Mobility (AIM) and discover how it moves beyond traditional subjective evaluation. By capturing objective, real-time data through onboard sensors, AIM is transforming orientation and mobility training — making it safer, more personalised, and more effective than ever before.
