------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------1.1. Research Problems Abstract - The objective of the project was to develop a low-cost multipurpose wheelchair aimed at enhancing mobility and improving the quality of life for individuals experiencing difficulty in walking. The tool enables the patient to be lifted directly from the bed, thereby assisting in the reduction of pressure injuries. In addition to lowering costs, the intention was to diminish pressure injuries and falls through the use of our device. The wheelchair can be utilized both indoors and outdoors, adding to its multipurpose functionality. Upon completion of the project, the goals were successfully achieved. In the wheelchair, what was aimed for has been accomplished. A superior multipurpose wheelchair with all necessary safety features has been created. Secure data transfer is enabled through low-cost, high quality measures
- Expensive Wheelchair designs are present in the market. - Injuries may occur to the patient while handling (transferring) the patient from wheelchair to the stretcher. 1.2. Research Objectives and Importance - Low cost of the mechanism that we have built due to less electronics and basic design. - The wheelchair can be converted anytime, anywhere into the stretcher and transferring of the patient can be avoided.
Key Words: Multi-Purpose Wheel-Chair 1.INTRODUCTION Thousands of families around the world have experienced the impact of disability. Presently, approximately 650 million individuals worldwide live with disabilities, with nearly 21.9 million people in underdeveloped countries like India facing some form of disability. Despite their challenges, these individuals must rise every day, morning, and live life to the fullest. For most, achieving this is only possible with the assistance of a wheelchair, a gadget that can empower and enable a disabled person to lead a normal, independent life. Wheelchairs have undergone significant progress over time, evolving from manual to motorized forms. However, these wheelchairs have not fully met the demands of people with disabilities. Hence, it is vital to recognize the problems faced by disabled individuals and design wheelchairs to address their needs. The working principle of a multipurpose wheelchair centers around its adaptability, versatility, and userfriendliness. It encompasses several key components and features. The wheelchair's frame can be adjusted and customized to accommodate various seating positions, heights, and configurations, ensuring maximum comfort and support for the user.
