GO is a groundbreaking, 3D-printed consumer wheelchair meticulously crafted to cater to the unique requirements of diverse disabilities and lifestyles. It’s a product of innovation that aims to make wheelchairs more personalized, comfortable, and supportive while eliminating the stigma often associated with medical devices. The accompanying GO app empowers users to actively engage in the design process, from selecting optional features to choosing patterns and colors, ultimately placing customized orders.
The GO wheelchair is the culmination of an exhaustive two-year research journey led by LAYER. During this period, the studio conducted in-depth interviews with numerous wheelchair users and medical professionals. Their invaluable insights served as the foundation for removing the stigma surrounding wheelchairs and refocusing on creating a user-centric mobility solution.
LAYER’s commitment to improving the lives of wheelchair users led to the development of the revolutionary GO wheelchair. This design is a result of a six-month insight-gathering phase, during which the team not only listened to the needs of the community but also conducted experimental research in the field of 3D printing. The outcome is a wheelchair that perfectly aligns with the individual’s body shape, weight, and disability, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing overall comfort and flexibility.
LAYER designed an intuitive app that puts the power of customization in the hands of users. Through the GO app, individuals can actively participate in the design process, tailoring their product to meet their specific preferences and needs.
