Afternoon All,
This was up over @ engadget we found it extremely hopeful and inspiring.
ARGO Medical Technologies has developed a wearable exoskeleton that is light, intuitive, and also allows people who've been in wheelchairs for twenty years to get up and walk around, go up and down stairs, stand and give presentations. It's pretty incredible.
"ReWalk is an Israeli-developed quasi-robotic ambulation system developed by ARGO Medical Technologies that provides a viable, upright day-to-day alternative to wheelchair users. The wearable upright mobility system was specially designed for individuals with lower-limb disabilities. By restoring upright mobility, the developers say, ReWalk delivers benefits on the health, economic, and societal levels."
He was in a wheelchair for twenty years and now he's going up and down the stairs!
The implications of this device and its related tech are beyond staggering. No more being bed-ridden. No more wheelchairs.
And the Rewalk is just v.1, wait until Rewalk v.10 comes out and you can fly and fight crime.
What a great day!
Love to All,
Team SuperForest
