About this project
The team designed an inflatable mattress that sits under the bed, and can be easily inflated, positioned, and deflated at the touch of a button. The air pressure inside the mattress is measured when the patient lies on it and calculates their weight.
The challenge
Wheelchair-users need to weigh themselves, but getting onto traditional scales is difficult.
Who it helps
The need knowers are wheelchair users
