Electric wheelchairs can now be controlled by an iPhone app from Dynamic Controls.
A user’s iPhone or iPod touch connects to the wheelchair system via Bluetooth to display chair information in real time as well as speed in kph or mph and compass heading.
Connectivity features include displaying the status of wheelchair, through to computer mouse control, IR and WiFi appliance control, on-chair connected devices as well as direct access to Dynamic Controls’ website with content of interest to wheelchair users.
An on-chair charger for the iPhone and a ‘chair doctor’ wheelchair diagnostics feature that interprets any problems with the wheelchair.
Dynamic Controls says it can be added to their existing line of DX2, DX or Shark wheelchair control systems, without reprogramming.
