As people grow older, their mobility tends to deteriorate, thus they have to rely on others to get around and to complete simple tasks.
The designer of the ICIO Electric Walker wanted to allow the elderly to get around and remain independent. This innovative walker does just that by transforming from a simple walker to a scooter that keeps people as mobile as possible.
The ICIO starts off as a simple three-wheeled walker, not unlike the ones that are commonly being used. It then transforms into an electric walker, in which users can stand a top ICIO while it does the work for them. Lastly, this unique transporter turns into a comfortable scooter, while allowing users to remain socially, mentally and physically active.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Elderly Mobility Solutions
- There is an opportunity for businesses to develop innovative solutions for the aging population to maintain their mobility and independence.
- Transformative Transportation Devices
- There is a trend towards creating devices that can transform from basic mobility aids to more advanced modes of transportation.
- Multi-functioning Devices
- There is a trend towards designing devices that can serve multiple functions, such as serving as a walker, electric walker and scooter.
Sectors Adopting This
- Medical Equipment Manufacturing
- Companies in this industry can take advantage of the growing demand for mobility solutions for the elderly.
- Personal Mobility Devices
- There is a market opportunity for companies that create innovative mobility solutions for people who have difficulty walking or standing.
- Assistive Technology
- Assistive technology companies can contribute to the trend of creating multi-functioning devices that can serve a wider variety of needs for individuals with disabilities.
