The company and product
Camino revolutionizes mobility assistance through intelligent hardware-software integration designed specifically for senior adults.
Founded in California, Camino emerged from personal frustration with the poor quality and lack of technology in mobility aids for their aging parents. The smart walker goes beyond traditional mobility assistance, offering power-assisted uphill movement, intelligent braking for downhill confidence, and innovative features like narrow mode for tight spaces and under-table parking for restaurants.
The revolutionary aspect lies in Camino's AI-powered health monitoring, tracking 22 different gait metrics to provide unprecedented insights into users' health and stability patterns.
Process
1.
Building an MVP to test and validate the connection between the app and walker through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
2.
Conducting discovery workshops to align on user needs and technical requirements.
3.
Developing clickable prototypes to test usability with target users before full development.

Challenges
Creating accessible technology for a traditionally underserved demographic presented unique challenges requiring deep user empathy and technical innovation.
The elderly user base demanded a fundamentally different approach to mobile app development, where traditional assumptions about tech-savviness and user behavior patterns simply don't apply.
The challenge extended beyond interface design to encompass secure hardware-software connectivity, reliable data visualization for healthcare professionals, and meaningful engagement strategies that respect users' cognitive and physical capabilities.
This is how we made it happen:
Developing a native iOS mobile app that truly understands elderly users' relationship with technology from both software and hardware perspectives.
Designing an accessible, intuitive experience specifically for less tech-savvy user groups.
Simplifying technically complex components without compromising functionality.
Establishing secure, reliable data exchange between the walker and mobile application.
Creating comprehensive data analysis and visualization tools for physical therapists and healthcare providers.
The Outcome
Our user-centered approach combined extensive research with innovative engagement strategies to bridge the technology gap for senior users.
We conducted comprehensive interviews with users, physical therapists, and psychologists to develop deep insights into users' needs, behavioral patterns, and technology-related challenges. This research informed a holistic approach that extends beyond individual users to engage their broader support network - family members, caretakers, doctors, and physical therapists.
Understanding that motivation and psychological comfort are crucial for this demographic, we introduced carefully designed gamification elements to illustrate progress while fostering social interactions that boost long-term engagement and adherence.
The partnership delivered a functional product prototype that served users seeking independence, families wanting peace of mind, and healthcare providers requiring detailed mobility data for better patient care.
The success of this project hinged on the following factors:
Deep empathy for elderly users achieved through extensive research with users, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
Holistic ecosystem approach engaging the entire support network rather than focusing solely on individual users.
Strategic use of gamification and social features designed specifically for senior adults' psychological and social needs.
Robust technical implementation ensuring secure, reliable connectivity between sophisticated hardware and accessible software interfaces.
