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”.
