Control Module for Touch Based Finger Gesture Controlled Intelligent Patient Vehicle

The finger   gesture on   touch   screen   module based alternative drive controller works similar to Joystick Controller,  compatible with any motorized wheelchair chassis available. It helps to make   independent mobility   possible for paraplegics  as  well  as  patients  having  weak  arms/hand muscles and  subjects  who  cannot  hold  the manual  joystick properly. It  consists  of  a touch  screen  proportional  controller  that  requires no force to activate and drive. Making contact with the  screen  activates  the  device,  and  maintaining  contact  enables full driving capabilities.

Due to the absence of care-givers, currently available mobility solutions needs to be upgraded using alternative drive controls to help make independent mobility possible. The imported version of general purpose motion controllers comes with stiff Joysticks only and are very costly due to which the wheelchair manufacturing in India is expensive at the moment.

Finger gesture based alternative drive controller requires no force to activate and drive. Indigenously developed with optional rear obstacle detection. Compatible with the available wheelchair chassis or mobility assistive devices at affordable price.
