Description (French)
Cette technologie permettra d'offir de nouvelles possibilités de formation à ceux qui apprennent à conduire en proposant des conseils de conduite aux thérapeutes et aux soignants. Elle permettra également d'aider les chercheurs cliniques qui étudient divers aspects de l'utilisation des fauteuils roulants, tels que l'activité et la participation. En outre, cette technologie peut élargir l'accès aux fauteuils roulants électriques à ceux qui sont actuellement exclus en raison de déficiences visuelles, cognitives ou motrices. Cette technologie augmentera la taille globale de notre marché et renforcera l'avantage concurrentiel de tous les fabricants de fauteuils roulants qui s'associent à nous, ce qui nous rendra plus attrayants pour un partenariat FEO et une acquisition par un fabricant.
