Light-Harnessing Sensors Give Hope to Limited-Mobility Patients

Recently, a Korean company donated a wearable robot, designed to aid patients with limited mobility during their rehabilitation, to a hospital. The patients wear this robot to receive assistance for muscle and joint exercises while performing actions such as walking or sitting. Wearable devices including smartwatches or eyewear that people wear and attach to their skin have the potential to enhance our quality of life, offering a glimmer of hope to some people much like this robotic innovation.
