WheelCare - Ergonomically designed wheelchair

WheelCare 
Ergonomically designed wheelchair 
A lot of wheelchair designs focus on functionality that gives the user more independence, but there are times when help from an assistant or nurse is required. The WheelCare concept features advanced ergonomics that make it just as comfortable for the seated person as it is for the helper. A redesigned cushion handle, easy-to-use rear/front pedals and brakes, as well as customizable height/lean adjustment give added security to both by making it safer and more friendly to use.
WheelCare is an ergonomically designed wheelchair which considered not only for the patients but also for the assistants. Adjustable handle make it more comfortable for the assistant, the seat can make it more stable for the patient so the assistant don’t have to worry about the rough road, the pedal behind is also adjustable which make it easier to tilt the WheelCare.Hanger, pedal, room for bags behind and below the seat are also fully-considered.
The angel of the seat is also adjustable, a little bit of gradient can prevent the user from falling out of the seat because of the rough roads.
The current height will show on the screen of the knob, this feature allows users to adjust the height precisely.
The knobs are also used in the front pedal which allows the user to adjust to the most proper height.
The assistant of the wheelchair may differ from friends to nurses, their body range may be big so adjustable handle is necessary to fit in different kinds of assistants.
Poorly designed handle for the wheelchair may cause pain in the back.
The pedal behind the wheelchair can tilt the wheelchair for steps or to avoid the small obstacles on the road, but for some assistants, the wheelchair is still too heavy to tilt.So the pedal of WheelCare is also adjustable, it can be pulled out to find the best length to make the suitable moment arm.
The fixed-radius body structure allows different kinds of accessories installed, like hanger, drip hanger, cup holder...etc. 
User can choose the accessory their own.
The space of current wheelchair are wasted, so there's an extra place for big objects like crutches, bags or small luggage under the seat.
