ElectroGlide
Assistive Mobility Solution
ElectroGlide is a motorized, electric attachment for wheelchairs that can provide dynamic auxiliary force according to user input. It helps the user to power through times of injury, sickness, and other conditions that may affect their ability to push. Its adaptability and portability allow quick installation of ElectroGlide on various wheelchairs. Its assisted power compensates for pushing force, helping users stay active and independent while enjoying a 'helping hand'.
ElectroGlide is a smart, motorized wheelchair attachment that supports young users through fatigue or injury while preserving their free choice of manual control. Lightweight and adaptable, it empowers independence and redefines assistive mobility as flexible and discreet. This beautifully illustrates the principle that great design is as much about adaptation as it is about invention. Well done!
WINNER STATEMENTThis honor truly touches our hearts and validates our mission to empower lives through thoughtful, assistive design for people with disabilities. It highlights the human-centered design approach behind ElectroGlide, fueling our commitment to meaningful social impact.
