Patient creates a multi-adjustable weelchair

Shared by tmmramalho on 2014-11-06 15:58

About the solution

Jeff presented his idea in the TV Show Dragon’s Den. He wanted to make a multi-adjustable and moldable wheelchair so he created "ICON Wheelchairs", and founded his company, which is managed by Christian Bagg and Rick Hayden (both of them also injured) and himself.

“We have designed an active wheelchair that changes with you rather than forces your body to change according to the chairs fixed limitation” - said the 13 times Paralympics medal winner and co-designer at ICON.
