Up and Down

Up and Down - open-source assistive technology concept by the Nazareth community

About this project

By using a jack, similar to one used when dealing with a flat tire, the user can manually lower and raise the seat. This project was both inspired and worked on by Alyn Hospital.

The challenge

The challenge is to find a solution to move from a wheelchair to the floor and back. The project was created to help disabled people safely and easily leave and return to their wheelchair.

Who it helps

The need knowers are wheelchair users.
