Powered wheelchair is a mobility device that is propelled by an electric motor. Patients suffering from chronic debilitating conditions use these wheelchairs for their daily functionality. People unable to use other mobility equipment such as manual wheelchairs or mobility scooters also use electric wheelchairs. The powered wheelchair is operated using a joystick, pressure sensors, gaze control and much more.
The advent of smart wheelchair is among the key developments in the powered wheelchair industry. However, the complexity of design, manufacturing, and marketing of these devices presents a challenge to the wheelchair manufacturer. Additionally, high cost of smart wheelchair is one of the major factors hampering the adoption of the powered wheelchair devices.
