Providing electric wheelchairs equipped with a toilet function for people with disabilities and the elderly
The venture will complete the design and development of a new electric wheelchair (e-wheelchair) featuring a hygienic, transfer-free toilet function, allowing people with disabilities and the elderly to independently use toilet facilities of public spaces and workplaces without requiring other people to help them up.
A total of ten fully functional e-wheelchairs with integrated toilet systems will be assembled, programmed, and deployed for use.
The venture will offer the e-wheelchairs to 190 wheelchair users for free use for a total of 570 hours.
