About this resource

WeWALK AI Mobility Platform (AIM)

AI Mobility (AIM) is a training and outcomes platform built on top of the WeWALK Smart Cane and its companion app. It is designed to strengthen mobility training and rehabilitation for visually impaired individuals by converting real-world cane-use data into structured, actionable insights.

How It Works

The WeWALK Smart Cane is equipped with onboard sensors that capture movement and usage data during everyday walking. AIM processes this data using artificial intelligence to measure indicators such as:

  • Cane angle relative to the ground
  • Sweep consistency
  • Walking distance and step count
  • Changes over time that may reflect growing confidence or stability

This information is presented through purpose-built dashboards accessible to mobility professionals and rehabilitation teams, with user consent required for data sharing.

Key Features

  • Progress Tracking: Compare performance across training sessions and everyday use to identify trends and focus support.
  • Remote Follow-Up: Review at-home practice and agreed tasks using objective data without requiring an in-person session.
  • Personalised Training: Identify individual strengths and development areas to tailor guidance for each user.
  • Outcomes and Reporting: Measure service impact across cohorts and report outcomes to stakeholders using consistent metrics.

Development and Partnerships

AIM was developed with support from Microsoft's AI for Good and AI for Accessibility programs. Microsoft leadership, including President Brad Smith and Chief Accessibility Officer Jenny Lay-Flurrie, have publicly endorsed WeWALK as an example of inclusive technology innovation.
