NOBIBO reimagines elder care by turning physical and cognitive training into interactive, emotionally supportive experiences. Using motion-sensing handrails and wristbands, it guides seniors through aerobic games that strengthen memory and muscles—helping prevent Alzheimer’s and sarcopenia. At night, thermal technology gently warms the wooden handrails, enhancing safety while creating the comforting feeling of a hand being held. By reducing the need for staff, NOBIBO supports independence and builds a caring environment where seniors can move, explore, and age with dignity.
