Abstract :
Wheel chairs are essential for people with
disability in movement. 44.3% wheel chair users in India
drive them manually. Though manual wheel chairs provide
good exercise to strengthen muscles, they often tend to
cause fatigue and are not suitable for person infected from
COVID-19 or suffering from weakness. On the other hand
commercially available electric wheel chairs are not
affordable. In this paper, the retrofitting of a commercially
available manual wheel chair with electrical systems to
provide sufficient mobility at low cost and an IOT system
to address medical needs of the user is conceptually
discussed
Keywords :
