How It Works

1

Continuous Monitoring

The ankle-mounted sensor continuously tracks gait patterns throughout your day, learning your natural walking rhythm.

2

Pattern Recognition

Edge-based machine learning algorithms analyze movement patterns in real-time to identify early signs of potential freezing episodes.

3

Timely Cueing

When a potential FoG episode is detected, the system delivers gentle vibrotactile cues designed to help re-establish normal gait.

4

Adaptive Response

The system monitors your response and stops cueing once normal walking resumes, providing support only when needed.
