AnyCan Tech is an Israeli start-up company developing a full-circle AI care platform, STEADY, designed to improve overall mobility, such as movement speed and balance, by intuitively correcting and readjusting people's posture in real time while improving their natural head positioning and quality of life over time. Continuous accumulative objective user data is automatically collected, allowing app-based interaction with external interfaces and third parties.
The company has performed a proof-of-concept that included timed up-and-go and six-minute walking tests on patients in different stages of Parkinson's disease (up to stage 4). All participants showed improvement, with an average speed improvement of 25% on the six-minute walking test. The company also has indications that STEADY might reduce or minimize freezing of gait and dyskinesia and improve overall mobility, likely because of cueing, as the device uses metronome and vibration cues.
