Fititout Solutions started as a college project funded by the Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology with an aim to develop a multipurpos Read moree wheelchair which could help the user to sit, move, stand and climb stairs. It observed through multiple interactions and feedbacks from exhibitions that disability and poverty are connected since a disabled person is not considered fit for employment. Wheelchairs are built as a one size for all and even after discharge post treatment there is no provision for assistive devices to stand up resulting in the disabled patient to be resigned to the wheelchair. Fititout Solutions has developed a standing wheelchair which was presented in the 3M CII innovation summit and was awarded the best project under the social innovation category. It aims to help skilled but physically disabled people and senior citizens to effortlessly move indoors and outdoors without seeking help from anybody which in turn will open them to opportunities to be employed and generate income for sustenance. It plans to build a further advanced and affordable version of its standing wheelchair in consultation with disabled people and advice from experts. Its product has been exhibited in the Aarohan Social Innovation Award contest hosted by Infosys Foundation and has been awarded under the Destitute Care and Social Sustainability category. It was encouraged jointly by the Ministry of Electronics through the TIDE 2.0 programme and The Hub and Derbi Foundation, Bangalore.
