Stanford Project - Physical Therapists' Input Needed

Hello everyone!


We are a team of engineering graduate students at Stanford University. We are researching wheelchair services for a class project (Disrupt Disability); the goal of our project is to explore how new technologies could enhance the wheelchair fitting process e.g. by:


-Using 3D scanning to reduce the number of measurements required and provide more accurate input on fit.
-Embedding sensors in wheelchairs to provide users with ongoing and continuous feedback on the fit of their wheelchair
-Systematising the way in which data is shared between clinicians, DME/CRT providers and wheelchair manufacturers
-Reducing the time clinicians have to spend fitting a wheelchair (so they can spend more time on wheelchair training etc)
-Using individual users’ data to improve wheelchair design by creating parametric and/or generative designs for a new generation of customised wheelchairs


Your input to the questionnaire below will help us greatly in moving this project forward:
