Wheelchairs have advanced to improve mobility for individuals with disabilities, yet many affordable options lack essential features that ensure comfort and adaptability for extended use. This paper focuses on creating a cost-effective, electrically powered wheelchair that combines height adjustment, a reclining mechanism for transitioning into a flatbed position, and innovative features such as weight measurement, a leg massager, and an integrated toilet accessibility system. These enhancements aim to foster greater independence and reduce reliance on external support. The versatile design allows users to seamlessly transition between sitting, lying, and adjusted height positions while also enabling effortless movement through an electric drive system. By making these advanced features more accessible, the wheelchair aims to enhance users' quality of life, improve mobility, and alleviate the workload of caregivers, contributing to a more inclusive and adaptable healthcare system.
