Experience the Future of Mobility with WIM S

GLOBEZ Corporation, headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, is excited to announce the upcoming special experience events for its revolutionary AI wearable walking assist robot, WIM S. These events will be held in two historic cities, Kyoto and Tokyo, alongside esteemed organizations such as the Parkinson's Disease Association of Japan and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The primary goal? To empower those living with difficult-to-manage conditions to regain their confidence in mobility.

Background of the Initiative

The challenges faced by individuals suffering from Parkinson's disease, such as “freezing of gait,” and those with muscular dystrophy, impacting their muscle strength and walking ability, are profound social issues. These conditions not only hinder independence but also create fears of falling and additional burdens on family caregivers. Recognizing this, our initiative aims to leverage technology to bring freedom of movement and new hope to those affected.

During the events, attendees will receive support from specialized staff and have the opportunity to try on WIM S, experiencing firsthand how it can assist their walking.

Event Details

The WIM S experience events will take place on:

• - Kyoto Venue: September 4-5, 2026, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM at the Shimo-Gyo Ikiki Citizen Activity Center
• - Tokyo Venue: September 17-19, 2026, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM at the GLOBEZ Headquarters, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

What to Expect

Each session will last between 45 minutes to one hour, during which attendees can:
1. Discuss their walking concerns with staff
2. Get fitted for the WIM S
3. Experience walking assistance firsthand
4. Engage in a Q&A session for individual consultations

Registration

Participation is completely free, but pre-registration is mandatory. You can reserve your spot by calling 03-6434-5490 or through our website.

Why This Matters

Many individuals living with progressive diseases express their struggles with movement. Frustrated sentiments like, “I can’t take the first step,” or “I feel my feet stick to the floor,” underscore the urgency of addressing these barriers. Traditional mobility aids often fall short in addressing neurological and muscular challenges; hence, WIM S was created to provide real-time support for initiating movement and improving balance.

Our Future Commitment

GLOBEZ Corporation is dedicated to collaborating further with patient support agencies and local governments well into the future. We aim to expand our reach through regular experience opportunities and enhanced support systems, focusing on a society that allows individuals to pursue their dreams without giving up due to illness or age. Our mission is clear: to utilize technology to support each individual’s independence and happiness, enabling them to walk their unique paths.
