An active suspension system reducing wheelchair vibrations to nearly 0hz.
BraunPrize 2019 Top 10 Finalist
Info
With more than 3000 entries from 107 countries, Braunprize 2018 challenged the creative class to create solutions for a better tomorrow.
Being part of the top 10 list of the professional category, VIDA is a highly sensitive integrated suspension system that reduces low, medium, and high frequency vibrations on wheelchairs. It is fueled with magneto-rheological fluid, which is calibrated through a both mechanical and electronic system capable of calculating up to one hundred adjustments per second. This high sensitivity ensures that any vibrations caused by rough terrain, a crack in the sidewalk or even from a brick pavement, are not transmitted to the wheelchair user.
VIDA received a special mention from the jury committe, being recognized as “outstanding”.
