LaserStick
The LaserStick is a walking aid designed to reduce Parkinson’s freezing by projecting a green laser line as a visual cue, guiding users to step forward safely. Combined with metronome-based audio cues, this clinically proven technique improves freezing of gait, a leading cause of falls in Parkinson’s patients, promoting safer, more independent mobility.
Parkinson's disease (PD)
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affects 7–10 million people globally, with cases rising sharply over the last three decades. Freezing of gait (FoG), a common symptom impacting over 50% of PD patients, disrupts daily life and increases the risk of falls, injuries, and loss of independence.
Independence
The LaserStick is a lightweight carbon fibre walking aid designed to combat FoG using clinically proven visual and audio cueing techniques. It promotes safer, more independent mobility by reducing walking hesitation and preventing falls at a reasonable price.
LaserStick Handle
Built-In Torchlight: The built-in adjustable-angle illumination improves visibility and safety, especially for nighttime trips to the bathroom.
Laser Line (Visual cue): This laser line walking stick uses laser projection technology to project a green laser line as a visual cue to enhance spatial awareness and improve walking safety.
Metronome Beat (Audio cue): This walking cane with metronome-like sounds comes with rhythmic audio cues and can be customised to an individual's walking rhythm to regulate walking pace.
Auto-Fall Alarm: Auto-Fall alarm triggers upon impact in the event of a fall, ensuring that one gets help in a timely manner. In the case of shock or when one is unable to call for help, this smart cane with fall detection features would alert nearby passers-by or caregivers for timely assistance.
MP3 Player & FM Radio: This smart walking stick with audio features comes with a built-in MP3 player. It is a source of entertainment and provides cognitive stimulation as music therapy can slow down the progression of dementia and enhance emotional connection in older adults.
Built-in Lithium-Ion Battery: The battery has a battery life of approximately 10 hours from a 2 hours USB charge, ensuring reliable performance throughout the day.
