Area of Science:

  • Assistive technology
  • Gerontology
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Smart wheelchairs integrate robotics, sensors, and communication for enhanced functionality.
  • Assistive devices are increasingly incorporating advanced technologies to support users.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify essential features for smart wheelchairs from the perspective of older adult users.
  • To assess the acceptability of potential smart wheelchair features using scenario-based evaluations.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 5 older adult wheelchair users in an assisted living facility.
  • Data collection through questionnaires and focus group discussions.

Main Results:

  • Safety-related features were consistently identified as most helpful and important by users.
  • Safety features demonstrated high acceptability in presented scenarios.
  • Existing technological features, such as family communication, received lower ratings.

Conclusions:

  • User preferences indicate a strong demand for safety-focused smart wheelchair functionalities.
  • Future smart wheelchair development should prioritize safety and telehealth capabilities, incorporating user-centric design.
  • Further research is recommended to comprehensively understand and integrate user needs into smart wheelchair design.
