According to a report by BusinessWorld, real-time engagement platform Agora is powering an AI-enabled smart cane developed by Lgenie. The device allows older adults to interact through low-latency voice conversations designed for outdoor and everyday use.
Agora’s technology enables real-time voice AI processing, making the cane responsive to voice commands and queries. The smart cane aims to improve safety and connectivity for elderly users by integrating conversational AI into a physical, portable device.
The partnership reflects a broader trend of embedding conversational AI into healthcare and everyday devices. Developers are increasingly adopting low-latency platforms like Agora to enhance user interaction in smart hardware, particularly in assistive technologies for aging populations.
