Kone: to connect elevators to wheelchairs

(CercleFinance.com) - Kone announces the development of a new technology solution designed to enable wheelchair users to move around in modern buildings more easily by connecting lifts and wheelchairs.


The connected wheelchair concept is being developed following its selection as the winning idea in Kone's DX Experiments competition, launched in January 2021.

"The design could mean that in the future, facilities such as care homes or other smart buildings could produce a better on-demand service for wheelchair users", Kone said.

"Being delayed because an elevator is full or because we are held up by inaccessible design can become another daily frustration," says Leo-Pekka Tähti, sprinter and five-time Finnish Paralympic gold medalist.
