Securely Balanced Wheelchairs

The 'Scewo' Accessible Wheelchair Climbs Stairs and Elevates

— March 30, 2017 — Art & Design
Wheelchairs are often only able to offer a limited level of mobility, so the 'Scewo' accessible wheelchair is intended to change this. The 'Scewo' wheelchair offers a more balanced and secure experience for users, and is capable of climbing stairs and offering more stability on uneven terrain. This enables those who rely on their wheelchair as their primary means of getting around to feel less restricted when they leave their home in the morning.

The 'Scewo' wheelchair also offers Elevated Mode, which allows users to be lifted to the eye level of those who are standing around them or as a way to see better when their sightline might be obscured. The 'Scewo' accessible wheelchair is still in the development phase and is expected to get to market by the end of 2018.
Trend Themes
1. Enhanced Mobility - The 'Scewo' wheelchair's ability to climb stairs and navigate uneven terrain offers enhanced mobility for wheelchair users.
2. Improved Accessibility - The 'Scewo' wheelchair's Elevated Mode feature provides improved accessibility, allowing users to be lifted to eye level and see better in crowded spaces.
3. Innovative Wheelchair Design - The 'Scewo' wheelchair's balanced and secure experience represents an innovative design approach in the field of mobility aids.
Industry Implications
1. Medical Equipment - The 'Scewo' wheelchair's advanced features present disruptive innovation opportunities in the medical equipment industry.
2. Assistive Technology - The 'Scewo' wheelchair's ability to climb stairs and provide enhanced accessibility creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the assistive technology industry.
3. Mobility Services - The 'Scewo' wheelchair's improved mobility features can disrupt the mobility services industry by offering more inclusive and accessible transportation options.
