4 -Keep Wheels Clean

The challenge

Wheelchair wheels attract everything — mud, pigeon feathers, spit, and even surprise “gifts” from dogs!

🎯 The challenge: Design a smart anti-intrusion system to keep the mess outside — and the living room clean.

Who it helps

🦽 For: Wheelchair users and their families who want a cleaner, more comfortable home.

How it works

It does not take a lot of space and can be installed in a shower for example reducing the risk of projecting xwater and dirty matter everywhere. we only the pressure of the water meaning no need to ceal a brush after use.

the solution is a machine that cleans the drive wheels autonomously by activating the water pump via a webpage on your cell phone.
