Affordable electric wheelchair design improving mobility and independence
Diminished quality of life for people with disabilities who cannot access mobility aids. Options which are currently available are expensive and not effective in the current environment. Over 1.9 million mobility-impaired Ghanaians that make about $200 monthly cannot afford existing solutions.
Ensuring greater independence by making affordable electric wheelchairs which are tailored to the local context. Design requires little operational assistance and it is suitable for long use due to features that aid in preventing bed sores.
