Adapy technology extends beyond mere automation

Adapy’s business model is built upon providing its innovative technology to users of existing and new adaptive devices alike. By automating the process of entering and exiting a vehicle, Adapy reduces the time required for these tasks, minimizes risks associated with exposure to harsh environmental conditions, and creates a community of mobile app wheelchair users for future product and service offerings.

The Adapy Smart Hub represents a breakthrough in mobility technology by enabling the transformation of old, outdated cranes, lifts, and other adaptive devices into new, user-friendly mobile-controlled experiences, without the need for the end-user to purchase new equipment. This saves the consumer significant amounts of money, given that new equipment can often cost between $1000-$25,000 per equipment install.

Perhaps the most transformative aspect of Adapy’s technology is its ability to cross-integrate with a wide range of adaptive devices from various vendors, bringing them together for the first time and interfacing them through the Adapy Smart Hub. This opens up multiple opportunities for advancements in the field of mobility and automation, as software algorithms can now be created to run multiple functions or commands that would otherwise be initiated independently.

For instance, a single button press or swipe of the screen on the mobile application could initiate the movement and direction of multiple adaptive devices in the proper sequence required to ready the vehicle for entry. This could include opening the doors, folding the lift, lowering and raising the lift, folding it again, and finally closing the door.

The potential of the Adapy technology extends beyond mere automation. With smart technology that recognizes when the user is within proximity of the vehicle, Adapy has the ability to cyber-fence the vehicle. Using Bluetooth 4.0 and Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), the Adapy Smart Hub can automatically connect with the user’s mobile phone when in range and, if intended, initiate pre-arranged commands to ready the vehicle or interact with the user.

Imagine a person with limited mobility wheeling out to their vehicle, and the vehicle automatically recognizing them and beginning the process of preparing the vehicle for entry, without any input from the user other than confirmation, which can even be an audible gesture. Adapy offers this transformative experience and represents a significant step forward in the mobility space.

Validating Research

Adapy, a company with a simple goal of “Improving the ability of Mobility”, seeks to improve the lives of those who experience the challenges of limited mobility. The company believes that it can provide a solution to the challenges faced by millions of people around the world through innovations in modern smart technology.

Adapy’s primary target audience is the 75 million people who depend on wheelchairs for mobility, with a narrower focus on individuals who have experienced a spinal cord injury (SCI). According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), 282,000 persons in the U.S suffer from SCI, and vehicular crashes are the leading cause of injury. Neurological injury to any portion of the CNS that regulates Tcore, such as SCI, stroke, multiple sclerosis, etc. frequently results in thermoregulatory dysfunction and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality from exposure to extreme ambient temperatures.

The need for Adapy is scientifically validated through existing research studies focused on SCI and the danger of exposure to harsh environments. In addition, the evolution of smart technologies, such as home automation, has been widely adopted by global markets. The adoption of such technology by the population is growing at near-saturation levels, making it apparent that bridging the smartphone with their adaptive devices is not only a logical choice but it may be the one thing that revolutionizes the mobility space.

According to Grand View Research, the global wheelchair market size was valued at USD 2.7 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2021 to 2028. The rising population of geriatrics and the rise in the number of disorders such as spinal cord injuries requiring mobility assistance are some of the key factors driving the market. In America, 13.7% of the population have issues related to mobility, and there are an estimated 3.3 million wheelchair users. It is estimated that in the United States, the number of wheelchair users is expected to increase each year by 2 million.

Adapy’s innovative technology offers a solution to the challenges faced by millions of people around the world. By improving the ability of mobility, Adapy hopes to change lives and provide a more accessible and inclusive world for all.
