Highlights of the Experience Events

Walking Before WIM S

Many participants reported an immediate sensation of effortless movement upon taking their first step after donning WIM S, feeling as if their legs naturally moved forward.

Family Participation

The events also saw many seniors in their 70s and 80s participating alongside family members, providing insight into the product across generations and helping to deepen understanding concerning walking support technology.

After Trying WIM S

In a calm atmosphere, participants received tailored support that adjusted to their body types and walking pace. Attendees were encouraged to ensure they were comfortable with their walking experience before concluding their sessions.

Moreover, support continued after the events, with participants given access to official LINE and email for ongoing queries and assistance.

Participant Feedback

• - Parkinson’s Patient: “At first, I used WIM with a walker, but after about 30 minutes of practice, I walked 50 meters on my own without it. I want to master it and walk on my own.”
• - Parkinson’s Patient: “My sense of ground contact has significantly returned—about 80% is restored! Incredible results; I’ll continue using it!”
• - Wife of Muscular Dystrophy Patient: “Watching my husband use the slow jogging mode brought tears to my eyes. It’s been years since he walked or ran so naturally.”

Future Developments and GloBiz’s Vision

GloBiz is focused on creating an infrastructure that empowers individuals to continue walking and engage with the world around them as they age. The nationwide experience events signify just the beginning of their outreach, aiming to expand access to such technologies across Japan.

As Japan approaches a demographic milestone in 2025 when the post-war baby boomers will reach advanced ages, mobility issues and social isolation are growing concerns. GloBiz is committed to reducing the number of individuals who give up on walking, aspiring to integrate WIM S as a staple in society, similar to the way glasses assist with vision.

The vision is to see WIM S seamlessly blend into everyday life, enhancing the ability to walk, and the recent experience events were the first step towards that reality. GloBiz will continue to strive for a society where everyone can derive joy from walking independently.
