Since 2010, we have been developing a patented simulation and measurement system that digitally maps real driving dynamics, captures relevant movement and performance data, and makes it objectively assessable. In this way, SIMO combines precise analysis, individual adaptation, and realistic training in a professionally deployed system.
SIMO is the world’s first manufacturer-independent wheelchair simulator for everyday active wheelchairs, used in specialist mobility equipment stores, clinics and research. It lets users experience the feel of sitting in and driving a future wheelchair before it is even acquired – under realistic conditions, at ease and without time pressure. This creates a shared understanding between the user and the specialist, long before the actual wheelchair is built.
SIMO makes the settings visible and documentable.
The SIMO software accompanies the entire measurement and simulation process, displaying the relevant measurement and setting data on screen in real time.
While the wheelchair user sits on SIMO, the specialist adjusts the various parameters of the future wheelchair configuration. Every change is displayed digitally right away – so it’s always clear which values are currently set.
The crucial difference: SIMO does not evaluate the sitting position automatically. The optimal configuration is found together, person to person. The wheelchair user feels the effect of every change and gives direct feedback, while the specialist contributes their experience and expertise.
The SIMO software also supports documentation of the entire measurement session. Measurement values along with associated photos, videos and simulation data can be saved and linked to a session. This makes it possible to retrieve, review and compare results later.
