Although the independent movement is crucial, some wheelchair users find it difficult or impossible to operate conventional manual or motorised wheelchairs. Multiple overlapping physical, cognitive, or perceptual symptoms of diseases such as cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cerebrovascular accident, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury can make it difficult to use a wheelchair safely and independently. Varied forms of assistance from a smart wheelchair and different wheelchair form elements can benefit people with various symptom combinations.
The COVID-19 pandemic had unprecedented effects on the world’s economy, along with sending the healthcare sector into a hyper drive. COVID-19 pandemic negatively influenced the smart wheelchair market during the peak of the pandemic in 2020, due to the shortage of supply of raw materials and other supply chain crises. However, the partial normalization of the world in 2021 opened up a foray of growth opportunities for the key players in this industry.

As a result, delays and failures owing to a shortage of staff to carry out the transfer would be avoided.
