Machine learning

• Manufacturers of IoT devices are producing ground-breaking innovations that combine sensors with AI algorithms and haptic feedback mechanisms (which guide users via touch) to improve mobility for the blind and partially sighted.
• Start-ups WeWaLK and .lumen have respectively developed a smart cane and a computer vision headset that can precisely guide users and facilitate their inclusion in the population in general.
• These new and relatively expensive IoT devices have yet to be reimbursed by social security systems in the different countries where they are distributed.
