Abstract

Problems

  • Powered wheelchairs often fail to communicate their status to their users.
  • Every chair is customized to a user’s needs, but this does not always work as it is hard to translate the commands to a different layout.
  • Status of the chair is unknown to caretakers/clinicians (has to go to the factory to be analyzed).

Goals

  • Provide an interface where one could read off easily basic data about the chair’s environment (altitude, pressure, humidity, etc.).
  • Build an API to allow for the interfacing of basic movement of the chair itself; this way alternative methods of control would be easier to implement.
  • Implement a way to save and log chair data so that it can be analyzed so that steps can be taken to help the users.
