Parkinson’s disease affects nearly 10 million people globally, often causing shortened steps, “freezing” episodes, and increased risk of falls. But what if a walking stick could help detect and prevent those dangerous moments before they happen?

In this video, we explore an innovative new mobility aid—created by Walk to Beat—that’s both discreet and smart. By analysing your walking pattern and detecting the early signs of freezing, this stick delivers a subtle haptic cue to help keep you moving safely and confidently.
