Smart Electric Wheelchair Development by AXION ES
AXION Engineering Solutions has developed a smart electric wheelchair prototype for an NGO-supported project, focusing on assistive mobility and practical local engineering development. This project was designed to help people with mobility limitations move more independently with the support of a motorized wheelchair system.
In Bangladesh, many patients, elderly people, and physically challenged individuals need affordable and locally serviceable mobility solutions. Imported electric wheelchairs can be expensive, difficult to repair, and not always suitable for local road, home, hospital, or community conditions. AXION ES is working to develop practical assistive technology that can be customized according to user requirement, NGO project goals, and local serviceability.
Project Overview
This smart electric wheelchair project was developed as a custom mobility solution for an NGO. The system includes a wheelchair structure with motorized wheel movement, battery-powered operation, control circuit, motor driver, and mechanical support system.
The goal of the project is to create a locally developed electric wheelchair platform that can be improved further based on field testing, user feedback, safety requirement, and real-life usage conditions.
The wheelchair can be customized for:
- Indoor mobility
- Hospital use
- Home use
- NGO donation program
- Rehabilitation support
- Elderly care support
- Physically challenged users
- Custom assistive device development
Problem
Many people with mobility limitations depend on manual wheelchairs or assistance from others. This creates difficulty in daily movement, especially for elderly people, patients, and physically challenged individuals.
Common challenges include:
- Dependence on another person for movement
- High cost of imported electric wheelchairs
- Limited local repair support
- Battery replacement difficulty
- Lack of customized design
- Poor availability of spare parts
- Difficulty using wheelchairs in local environments
- Limited access for low-income users
- Lack of smart monitoring or emergency features
- NGO projects needing affordable local solutions
A locally developed electric wheelchair can reduce cost, improve repairability, and allow customization based on user and project needs.
