For wheelchair users who struggle to maneuver safely or just need more spatial awareness,
Braze Mobility has created the world’s first blind spot sensors that can be added
to any wheelchair and transform it into a “smart” wheelchair. Our system automatically
detects obstacles and provides feedback to the user through intuitive lights, sounds,
and vibrations.

of smart wheelchair research to bring you and your clients the world’s first blind
spot sensors for wheelchairs.
Participants will learn:
- At least 3 benefits of blind spot sensors and scenarios where they are used
- At least 3 types of user feedback that blind spot sensors can provide
- At least 3 advantages of blind spot sensors over semi-autonomous wheelchairs
