371k steps over 10 years is like 100 steps per day. Is it really slow, or did he only use it once a week?

My guess is he would use a wheelchair at home where the area is prepared to accommodate it. The exoskeleton is likely slower and harder to wear around the house, but can make him mobile in places where a wheelchair can’t go.

Hope he can make it to at least a million steps to bring down his per step cost below 10 cents.
