According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 1 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. Many of these individuals experience mobility impairments that affect their daily lives, including older adults facing barriers to independence, social connections, and physical activity. As a result, this mobility gap exacerbates social isolation, limits access to healthcare, and hinders overall well-being, disproportionately impacting their quality of life. BIOMOTUM, Inc., an AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP startup participant, is pioneering innovative assistive robotics and wearable technology to address this critical issue, empowering individuals to maintain physical activity, independence, and a healthy lifestyle. Learn how their initiatives are bridging the gap and fostering a more inclusive mobility landscape in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/gsFrVnzg #MobilityInclusion #AgeTechCollaborative #Empowerment #SocialImpact
