  My 90+ years old gramps is still trying to exercise on his own (which is a problem for us since he’s fallen down a few times without letting the family know) — do you see this possibly be able to let elders walk a little more stable?

Just 5 seconds saving is not serious, when they reach 40% – 50% of time or energy saving then its gonna be worth something and not be just a gimic

What I am really looking for is a full support for people that aren’t able to walk at all, that would be great !

???? Great video, thanks for sharing! Quick questions: 1) Did the battery and cable ever get in your way, or seem odd with a sweater/jacket over it? 2) Considering also question-one and the X1-Pro with two batteries, what are your feelings on more battery bulk? Thanks!

  Thanks for the questions! The battery sits on the front and I didn’t even notice it, but the cable I had to be a bit more creative with tucking it under the belt or in a pocket. Feel like it could get caught on something if you went hiking, so I’d be extra careful with tucking it in.
  
  You can only put one battery on at a time on the version I tried, but I’d imagine two wouldn’t be that much bulkier. Still, it’s the wires more than anything that you’d need to work around

I don’t get these things. How are they supposed to help? They don’t transfer any of the load. Maybe they move your legs?

Lexi try to run 1 mile per day without any support and you will feel much better. You are quite young and your body should be in much better shape.

Its nice to see ai being used for something that could help people like this.

600 dollars is expensive, but not bad then what a lot of tech companies charge for new tech. Glad it’s not like 2k or something.

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
