## Homepage — Regain independence with the world's most advanced smart cane

A smart cane built with the blind and partially sighted community. Obstacle detection at chest height, turn-by-turn voice navigation, and guided exploration of what's around you — all in a cane that works the way you already do. Own a Smart Cane for less than $2.50 a day.

WeWALK combines the confidence of a traditional cane with powerful, built-in smart features like voice navigation, obstacle detection, and exploration support.

## Smart Cane 2 — Your Smart Mobility Companion

The most advanced smart cane yet — combining above-ground obstacle detection, real-time voice navigation, and built-in AI support in one refined, intelligent design. Created with the WeWALK community to unlock a new level of independent mobility. Move freely, stay confident, stay in control.

Four levels of capability (from foundation to peak): Classic Cane, Safety, Navigation, AI.

- CLASSIC CANE: Use like a lightweight, weather-resistant white cane, so you never lose the reliability you trust. Even without your phone, it supports confident ground detection for uninterrupted mobility.
- SAFETY: Avoid unexpected collisions and move with greater peace of mind. By detecting obstacles at chest and head level, the Smart Cane protects you from hazards traditional canes can't detect. Built-in lighting improves visibility in low light, and customisable vibration or sound alerts let you receive warnings in the way that feels most natural — all controlled directly from the cane.
- NAVIGATION: Go wherever you want, independently. Step-by-step voice guidance through your cane lets you navigate to shops, restaurants, and landmarks without holding your phone. Track public transport in real time, know exactly when to get off, and explore your surroundings with confidence.
- AI: Get answers the moment you need them. Speak to your cane to ask about your surroundings, read menus, learn about landmarks, or get everyday information — powered by GPT. Your Smart Cane becomes a voice-activated companion that keeps you informed and independent.

Smart Cane 2 vs Smart Cane 1:
- Weight: 25% lighter (vs standard)
- Profile: 40% thinner (vs standard)
- Rain & weather resistant: Yes (vs No)

## WeASSIST — Professional Visual Assistance Service

WeASSIST is live human visual assistance delivered through the WeWALK app. You connect to a professionally trained agent, share your smartphone camera when you choose, and get real-time support for the task in front of you. The agent interprets what your camera sees and guides you in real time — so you can move, verify, and decide with confidence. Control stays with you.

What "visual assistance" means: real-time interpretation of what's in view — what something is, what matters, and what to do next — based on the situation and your goal.

How it works:
1. Download the WeWALK app to your smartphone.
2. Connect to a professional assistant with one button.
3. Give permission for camera and microphone.

What makes it different: AI is excellent for fast automation like recognising text or objects, but some real-world moments still require contextual interpretation — understanding intent, handling ambiguity, and applying judgment when the situation changes. WeASSIST is built on human intelligence plus technology: a trained person supported by a modern mobile platform, helping the user participate in complex environments while staying in control.

WeASSIST for individuals: Designed for people who are blind or have low vision. Use it for fast, human interpretation — reading labels or screens, identifying items, getting oriented in an unfamiliar indoor space, or verifying details before you act. You choose when to connect and what to show; you can end the session at any time. Confidentiality and security of conversations are part of the service promise. Service hours and availability vary by region and program — check the WeWALK app for current availability.

WeASSIST for organisations: Deliver accessibility as a service without heavy infrastructure. Designed for airports, hotels and resorts, corporate campuses, telecom operators, public institutions and buildings, ecommerce, and universities. No complex on-site hardware required — users connect through the app and receive guidance from trained professionals. The WeASSIST team manages the integration process, supported by a professional agent network (DANIŞ Network) for consistent service across locations.

Proof and trust: 9.5/10 satisfaction in U.S. surveys. Note: WeASSIST is currently available in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia.

## AI Mobility Platform (AIM) — Built for Mobility Training and Rehabilitation

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.

What it is: 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 for training, rehabilitation, and ongoing follow-up. Powered by AI, it 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. Insights appear in purpose-built dashboards and, with consent, can be shared across rehabilitation and training teams.

Benefits:
- Progress and continuity: review patterns from training sessions and everyday use, compare progress across sessions, and focus support where it matters most.
- Remote follow-up: review at-home practice and agreed tasks using objective data.
- Personalised training: highlight strengths and areas to develop, tailoring guidance to each person.
- Outcomes and reporting: measure service impact across cohorts, track reach over time, and report outcomes with a consistent, metrics-led approach.

WeWALK was supported by Microsoft's AI for Good and AI for Accessibility programs.

## About Us

WeWALK is a startup incubated through the YGA program in 2020, built by a team with a decade-long background in assistive technologies. Its foundation rests on the firsthand experiences of its team and users, shaping products through an approach called "community customization" — rejecting traditional methods that prioritise the needs of able-bodied users as the design blueprint. Crafted by a team that includes individuals with visual impairments, WeWALK offers a suite of products and services including the WeWALK Smart Cane, WeASSIST, WeWALK Consultancy, and AI Mobility Training.

WeWALK's impact spans more than 60 countries, with recognition including a TIME Best Invention, an iF Design Award, a King's Award for Enterprise (Innovation), an Edison Award, Amazon's Startup of the Year, and a place on Forbes' 100 Accessibility list. Through collaborations with Microsoft, Imperial College London, the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), and other global organisations, WeWALK continues to expand its features for the visually impaired community.

Our story: WeWALK's story began nearly a decade before its formation, with a team dedicated to tailored solutions for communities with disabilities. After building an auditory description system for movie theaters and an award-winning indoor navigation system, the team set out to modernise the traditional white cane. Inspired by personal and professional journeys through visual impairment, the team is committed to revolutionising the mobility experience.
