Supporting Safer Steps for People with Parkinson’s

NeuroQ Biologics Inc. is pursuing the X-CUE™ smart-glasses business and digital healthcare activities. X-CUE™ is designed to display a visual walking cue in the wearer’s field of view to help prompt the first step.

company overview

NeuroQ Biologics Inc.

NeuroQ Biologics Inc. was established on September 9, 2026, and is led by CEO Shin Sang-yong.

The company is pursuing the X-CUEâ„¢ business and digital healthcare activities.

​

The company’s business areas include medical-device research and development, gait-data analysis and digital-health software, smart eyewear, and biotechnology and diagnostic-related activities.

The Challenge

PARKINSON’S DISEASE AND FREEZING OF GAIT

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells. It is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases among older adults, after Alzheimer’s disease.

​

Common symptoms include slowed movement, tremor, muscle rigidity, and postural instability. These symptoms can make daily activities difficult and increase the risk of falls and fractures.

​

Freezing of gait (FOG) can make a person feel as though their feet are stuck to the floor, preventing them from taking a step and causing them to stop walking. It is estimated that FOG affects 30–60% of people with Parkinson’s disease.

AR Walking Cue

Displays a virtual walking line, like a crosswalk, in the wearer’s field of view to prompt the first step.

FOG Pre-Detection

Collects and analyzes real-time gait data using a 9-axis sensor and camera to detect freezing of gait.

Remote Rehabilitation & Monitoring

Enables clinicians to continuously monitor a patient’s status through a server and app.

Core Technology: FOG Pre-Detection and Gait Cue Display

Real-time gait data collection → FOG pre-detection → gait cue display

An end-to-end, two-way connected system.

Data Collection

9-axis sensor and camera

Real-Time Analysis

Floor segmentation, obstacle detection, and FOG detection

Visual Cue

Displays a walking cue and gait pattern through the glasses

Server Learning

Learning data, model validation, and error correction

Service & App

Continuous clinician monitoring and diagnostic support

Acceleration Direction Correction

Uses an algorithm to correct input acceleration data and calculate the 2D movement trajectory and direction.

Gait Data Measurement

Speed Calculation

Converts integrated acceleration into speed and extracts time, step count, and cadence.

Distance Calculation

Converts integrated speed into distance and extracts gait and height information.

Applications

Gait-function recovery and enhancement medical devices for neurology, rehabilitation medicine, orthopedics, sports medicine, industrial medicine, and related fields.

Supporting Mobility for People Living with Parkinson’s

Visual Gait Cues

X-CUE™ displays an AR walking line in the wearer’s field of view to encourage the first step and support walking.

Gait Data Analysis

A 9-axis sensor and camera collect gait data for real-time analysis, including floor segmentation, obstacle detection, and freezing-of-gait detection.

Remote Rehabilitation Support

Server- and app-based tools are designed to help healthcare professionals monitor patients and support remote gait rehabilitation.
