Modular Wheelchair
Adaptable wheelchair modules
Wheelchairs need to be customised to the body, lifestyle and environment of their user but their needs are continuously changing. How can a wheelchair be continuously customised? What about customisation for style? This is a question the start up Disrupt Disability is trying to answer with their innovative modular wheelchair system : How could we change the way wheelchairs are designed so that they can become fashionable, and help express their users personality and style? The start up has developed a system which would allow for various parts to be selected and fabricated according to every person’s unique need and style. As a result, the system creates the potential for an infinitely evolving product that evolves to changing user fashions and functional requirements over time.
