Project Title
Smart-Wheelchair for the Eldery
Design Challenge
When elderly patients use wheelchairs, manual and electrical, they are often limited in their sensory abilities including hearing, sight, and feel. This Cleverchair aims to provide an extra set of eyes, ears, and touch to any typical wheelchair on the market. The sensors will be able to detect terrain conditions, elevation/tilt angles, and provide an extra set of sights and amplified sound to combat blindspots that exist during a daily wheelchair commute.
