You have to assume children share the space for instance.
Then how useful practically. I guess you have two wheel chairs.
And how replaceable it is when your condition gets worse.
Interesting idea. I feel like once you pay for a builder you might not install something that simple.
If you've been around a loved one who is at risk of a fall on stairs, or exhausted and weary from stairs due to age or disease, this apparatus's appeal is immediately clear. When my mom was dying from brain cancer, her final days of mobility were an incredible strain for everyone. This would have made life a lot easier. If she had a seizure, at least she would be seated. If she got tired, taking a break wouldn't mean…
I used to work a lot in health care. In the trenches as a simple grunt and later on in the etappe, IT. Lately still some work in BI for health insurance. So pitch me, why should they fund it, when there are exoskeleton support systems in a lot of variety and price ranges I can use everywhere just around the corner? I don't mean to be rude, but this is the type and tone of questions I sometimes get paid to ask.
If other people pay you to be rude to them, that's between you and them. But that doesn't mean rudeness is welcome in all contexts, and this site is one where it isn't.
As far as the pitch, it seems to me that the video is the pitch. I'm sure if you were actually in a position to fund their work they'd be happy to talk it through with you in more detail. To me this system looks a lot less expensive than an exoskeleton, and is also much closer to practical realization.
This seems too unpowered to be the best option in places with reliable electric power, and for places without reliable electric power, this looks too complex to be reliably repaired without a service infrastructure. And if you have that, you probably have reliable electric power. In short, it looks like a solution looking for a problem.
If it's cheaper than the other alternatives then it has a place.

I think Vertiwalk might be a solution for people who want to exercise. But if the main issue is to travel between floors, I think installing your own mini elevator might be a better solution. It doesn't take much more space, but it's fast and can carry the wheel chair with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqMZfQODJZo
In case anyone else was irritated by the inability to scrub through the auto-playing video, adding this CSS rule in your browser's dev tools should fix it: .vp-progress { display: block !important; }

So it's exoskeletons just around the corner. And they can be carried around, so haven't to be build into that corner. You may do your own cost comparisons for funding purposes considering the wider market for exoskeleton systems in logistics, construction, etc. So this is just one example, there are a lot more different exoskeleton systems available.
Now I just have to look up, whether there are already studies, that tell me about probable health-promoting physiotherapeutic effects.
