About
Walk With Path develops active wearables to improve function and mobility for people living with chronic condition, the frail or elderly and beyond. Our first product, Path Finder, was launched in 2017 as a medical device for people with Parkinson's suffering from freezing episodes. The shoe attachment works by projecting laser cues in front of the wearer which stimulates movement.
Our next product, Path Feel, is a connected insole that provides biofeedback to improve balance. Path Feel acts by providing haptic feedback to the feet and is aimed at people suffering from neuropathy, with the main population being those with diabetes. Path Feel is connected to a clinician dashboard and a user facing app, that provides data insights to enhance predictive screening and personalised medicine.
