AI Pathfind Wheelchair

We are solving the problem of paralysis and targeting the blind and deaf community. People of this community struggle in a traditional wheelchair, which can be solved through new technology that has not been implemented yet.

Our solution is an AI-powered wheelchair designed in order to help the blind and deaf community. It uses sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to navigate environments autonomously, avoiding obstacles and hazards. Users can control the wheelchair through interfaces such as voice commands or the remote control panel, providing them with greater freedom and independence, along with additional safety as these procedures will bypass the AI.

Our solution serves the blind and deaf community, which often faces struggles due to limited accessibility and safety concerns with traditional wheelchairs. Our AI-powered wheelchair will significantly improve their lives by offering a solution tailored to their need, which will empower them to move freely and safely in various environments.

Our team is the right representative of this community because we have done significant research relating to wheelchair usage and struggles relating to wheelchairs. Blindness and deafness are very common throughout the nation as well, and we have found that a combination of either of these with paralysis becomes extremely hard for one to function in society, which led us to develop a personal connection and empathy for this issue.

Our product is still in the research stage, with no real prototype in development or physical version of the product. We have built diagrams and theoretical versions of the product, however, we have not been able to create a physical version just yet.

We believe Solve can help us overcome barriers by connecting us with funding, technical expertise, and market insights. With Solve's support, we can accelerate the development and adoption of our AI-powered wheelchair, ultimately improving the lives of the blind and deaf community.

Our solution stands out for its integration of advanced technology such as artificial intelligence, which has been tailored to help marginalized groups such as disabled people.. The wheelchairs ability to enhance users' mobility while setting a new standard for accessibility will have the potential to create positive impacts within the society itself. our solution could also inspire other innovators to develop similarly forward-thinking solutions, ultimately reshaping the market landscape to better serve individuals with disabilities.

Our solution directly addresses mobility challenges for the blind and deaf community by implementing Artificial Intelligence and intuitive controls. This will lead to improvements in navigation and user control, resulting in long-term outcomes such as increased mobility, independence, and most importantly, social inclusion.

Our solution's impact goals are focused on increasing mobility, enhancing independence, and improving social inclusion for individuals within the blind and deaf community. We will track specific indicators such as the number of individuals using our AI-powered wheelchair, changes in self-reported quality of life metrics like confidence and independence through surveys personally, and improvements in accessibility features in public spaces. Through this, we can assess our progress towards achieving our impact goals.

Our solution utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and sensor technology to create an aid tailored for the blind and deaf community. This technology will enable autonomous navigation, obstacle detection, and personalized interaction through control interfaces like voice commands. We aim to revolutionize mobility for individuals with disabilities, enhancing their independence and inclusion in society.

We have a team of 3 people at this moment, and many other mentoring figures who are not affiliated with our company.

We have been working on our solution for about a year and a half.

Our team is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our leadership team reflects a diverse range of backgrounds and identities. We seek to minimize barriers to opportunity for staff by providing equal access to professional development opportunities, mentorship, and leadership roles regardless of gender, race, or ethnicity. Our team's strives to become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive by creating a culture of belonging where all team members feel valued and supported. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to our mission of making a positive impact on the lives of individuals.

Our business model centers on providing AI-powered wheelchairs tailored tor everyone, including the blind and deaf community. Our wheelchairs offer seamless navigation, obstacle detection, and control interfaces, which will revolutionize mobility for our customers. We generate revenue through sales of our wheelchairs and through subscription-based services for ongoing maintenance and support. This targets a niche market with high demand, which will create significant value and a steady revenue stream.

We plan to become financially stable through selling our wheelchairs to establishments such as medical centers at a high profit margin. We will be using at first use crowd-sourced funds to initially start our business and potentially government grants and loans, but eventually we aim to be self sustaining and operating at a great profit margin due to the niche concept.
