THE CHALLENGE
Jill is a wheelchair user who came to TOM: Melbourne with her Occupational Therapist Reece. Together, they would like to create a pressure-sensitive system with feedback for wheelchair users. Alerts would help with posture and aid in reducing pressure-related injuries.
THE SOLUTION
Jill’s team created a sensor array that sits under her in her wheelchair to detect potentially harmful movements or postures. Alerts are sent to her support workers to help her reposition and maintain good posture.
