  Isometric View

Inspiration

We saw how post-surgery patients struggle with mobility and heavy dependence on caregivers, inspiring us to design a system that restores autonomy and comfort.

What it does

MobilEase transforms the center panel of a hospital bed into a powered wheelchair, enabling effortless transfers and integrated rehabilitation support.

How we built it

We used CAD modeling in Onshape to design a modular bed system with mechanical joints, rail guides, motorized movement, and limb-support attachments.

Challenges we ran into

Aligning bed-to-chair motion smoothly, integrating support rails without adding bulk, and ensuring ergonomic comfort were key design hurdles.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a functional, scalable concept that combines mobility, therapy, and autonomy in a single system.

What we learned

How to merge mechanical design, patient needs, and assistive technology into a user-friendly, realistic product concept.

What's next for MobilEase

Prototype development, mechanical testing, and integration of smart sensors for automated adjustment and safety monitoring.
