Safer Seniors

CAN Go Smart Cane

Every year, about $50 billion is spent on medical costs related to older adults taking a fall. The CAN Go is an AI-powered smart cane with fall detection, activity tracking, GPS location, a flashlight, and emergency-calling features. “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.” The device, which updates over the air, learns about the daily activity of its users and can share that data with family members and medical professionals.
