Entry Description

Ease is a walking aid designed specifically for individuals with cognitive disabilities or dementia, ensuring safer and more intuitive mobility. Traditional walking aids often fail to accommodate the unique cognitive and sensory challenges associated with dementia, inadvertently increasing the risk of falls. Ease addresses this gap by incorporating cognitive accessibility principles such as leveraging colors, shapes, and configurations that enhance ease of use. By doing so, Ease empowers individuals to navigate their environments more independently and confidently.
