Problem
Individuals with conditions like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, or ALS often experience limited upper-body mobility, hindering their ability to control devices like wheelchairs, smartphones, and computers. This lack of control restricts their independence and access to essential digital tools.
Solution
Kinemo offers a wearable body motion tracking system that translates subtle movements into device control, enabling users with limited physical motion to operate wheelchairs, smartphones, and computers. The system utilizes custom sensors to detect slight movements of any body part, such as the head, knee, shoulder, foot, or hand. These movements are then mapped to control signals, allowing users to navigate their environment and the digital world. Kinemo aims to enhance independence and provide greater access to digital tools for individuals with mobility impairments.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, ALS, and other conditions that limit upper-body mobility.
