Today’s test plan: wait for heavy rain. The .lumen Glasses need to understand the world when the world gets messy: wet pavement, reflections, lower visibility, water on the cameras, and whatever this poncho situation is. Happy team. We love what we do. #dotlumen #Lifeatdotlumen #AssistiveTechnology #BlindMobility #DeepTech

“For the first time in 9 years, I walked on my own, without depending on anyone. I felt in control again.” This is what a blind participant told us after experiencing the .lumen Glasses, during the Romanian Roadshow. Mobility is getting a part of your independence back. #dotlumen #AssistiveTechnology #BlindMobility #Accessibility #GlassesfortheBlind

We went to Tuzla for SystemEU Valley Summit. Came back with partner conversations across 4 European regions. Bianca-Iulia Simion, our CMO, represented .lumen in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where we discussed pilots, localisation, reimbursement paths and market entry. New markets are built with local partners. Since the summit, those conversations have already turned into advanced pilot talks. Thank you to the SystemEU team for the hospitality and the reminder that face-to-face still moves things faster. #dotlumen #SystemEU #AssistiveTechnology #BlindMobility #MarketAccess #HealthTech

"AI can make mistakes." But what if you're building a medical device which people's lives depend on? The hardest AI products are the ones people have to trust with their bodies. A chatbot can be wrong, and you refresh the answer. A mobility system cannot casually hallucinate a sidewalk. So we test on broken pavement, crowded streets, unpredictable obstacles, and infrastructure rarely designed with blind pedestrians in mind. That's where you build trust. #AITrust #InclusiveDesign #AIForGood #HumanCenteredAI

We drove 11,000 km to meet blind people where they live. For 55 days, our team brought the Glasses to 41 cities across Romania. More than 900 blind people, aged 7 to 92, experienced them close to home. Romania has around 85,000 blind people and only 21 active guide dogs. The largest Mobility Roadshow of its kind made one thing clear: people are ready and so eager for independence. And we are only starting. #dotlumen #AssistiveTechnology #BlindMobility #Accessibility

Always a joy to show what we are building. Luckily, over 7,000 got to experience the .lumen Glasses for the Blind all over the world. We are now expanding our pilots and partnerships so more people can experience the Glasses closer to home. #dotlumen #AssistiveTechnology #BlindMobility #Accessibility #MarketAccess

The .lumen Glasses are now certified as a Medical Device. The most advanced assistive technology in the world now carries Romanian DNA and medical-grade quality. Built in Romania. Designed for the world. #TechforGood #BlindMobility #MadeinRomania #AssistiveTech

A product can change lives and still reach almost no one. Access depends on reimbursement, public procurement and governments that understand the value of independence. And yet, just another challenge for .lumen. #AssistiveTech #Accessibility #MarketAccess #dotlumen

At SightCity, we got into trouble for having too many people at our booth. At one of Europe’s key gatherings for assistive technology for blind and visually impaired people, the queue for testing the .lumen Glasses was blocking the hallway. We’ll take that kind of trouble. #dotlumen #SightCity #AssistiveTechnology #DeepTech #MarketAccess

Marius Ghenea has joined our Board of Directors. His feedback has already sharpened the way we think about scaling. Also, congrats to Marius and the Catalyst Romania team on their 3rd fund. More serious capital in the region means more companies get the chance to build from here, at global standards. #dotlumen #BoardOfDirectors #VentureCapital #DeepTech
