Smart to Walk: smart cane with a display and safety lights

Prototype of a telescopic cane with an electronic handle that integrates a round display, a button and safety lights.

Safety and outdoors Startup $10,000 – $25,000 3 – 4 months

The price includes design, functional prototyping, product testing and optimization.

Why design a smart cane?

1

Visibility while walking

Safety lights make the user more visible in low light.

2

Information in the handle

A round display and a button concentrate interaction in the hand.

3

Still a cane

The electronics are built into the handle without changing how a telescopic cane is used.

4

Connectivity and intelligence

The IoT, software and AI layers turn the cane into a connected product.

“A cane is gripped all day, so the electronics have to fit in the handle without getting in the way of the hand. Housing the display, battery and lights in that volume was the challenge. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
