Adapy smart mobility harness research & development - adapy's technology (consisting of a hardware apparatus and mobile APP) allows those in wheelchairs to prepare their vehicle in advance from their mobile phone at safe distances and with the TAP of a button. Think of "home automation" for the adaptive automobile. The goal is to make life easier and safer for those wheelchair or scooter bound (the user) throughout the US and world by integrating the products of differing manufactures of adaptive equipment (with their differing corded remotes) into a single cordless remote system. The objectives are: 1) provide more independence to those in wheelchairs requiring assistance entering/exiting their vehicle; 2) provide greater convenience and ease of use; 3) provide reliable and familiar operation controls; 4) ensure the user's safety and reduce risk; 5) integrate all adaptive equipment meant for the automobile into our smart mobility system. Outcomes include: 1) providing greater access to employment and services for users; 2) providing independence and peace of mind for users (and their caregivers) that require assistance entering/exiting vehicles; 3) providing convenience and time-savings to create greater community living, participation, and mental health 4) providing a safe environment by reducing users' exposure to the elements (exacerbated by climate change) which can result in several health and safety issues. The expected products are 1) greater variety of harnesses to integrate more manufacturers and their respective adaptive equipment; 2) produce installation videos for each manufacturer.
