Smart Walking Canes

The CAN Go Smart Cane Enhances Senior Safety with Artificial Intelligence

— October 24, 2023 — Tech
Despite significant advances in technology, canes for seniors have remained largely unchanged over the years, and the CAN Go is an AI-powered smart cane that changes this with fall detection, activity tracking, a built-in flashlight, emergency calling features and more.

As with most devices that implement AI-powered features, this smart cane becomes smarter over time as it learns about the daily activities of the user to serve and support them better.

The CAN Go Smart Cane is one of the products that got a coveted spot on TIME's 2023 list of Best Inventions. “A lot of seniors don’t adopt new technologies,” says Ahmad Alghazi, founder and CEO of CAN, “which is why we decided to embed them into devices they already need or use.”
