Bluetooth Adjustable Wheelchair Headrest Control

详细技术说明

USF Inventors have developed a multi-directional headrest that may be controlled through a mobile device via Bluetooth. The system includes manually adjustable starting positons for each actuator that translates vertical and horizontal movement. This enables the user to adjust their headrest without assistance to suit activities (like driving, watching a movie, eating, etc.) and to attain appropriate upper body posture on a daily basis. The universal mounting and power systems of the headrest provide the flexibility to connect it to any wheelchair and draw its power either from the wheelchair’s existing power source or a separate 12V current source.

*Abstract
