About iWalkiWalk is the pioneer and leader in personal bionic innovation. With the introduction of BiOM technology, the company has been able to enhance mobility and extend potential for people with lower-limb loss. In the future, the same underlying technology will also help people whose mobility is limited by stroke, diabetes or other conditions of disease and age.
Privately held and headquartered in Bedford, Mass., iWalk was founded in 2006 by Dr. Hugh Herr, director and principal investigator of the Biomechatronics Group of MIT’s Media Laboratory. The company has received funding and support from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Army’s Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) and leading investment firms including WFD Ventures, General Catalyst Partners, Sigma Partners, and Gilde Healthcare Partners.
