Klika Tech, a global technology solutions and consulting company delivering cloud and smart city solutions, announced that its Device-to-Cloud Smart Wheelchair solution co-created by Klika Tech and LUCI has been named “Public Safety Solution of The Year” in the 8th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program conducted by IoT Breakthrough, a market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market today.
The innovative connected wheelchair solution co-created by Klika Tech and LUCI gives power wheelchair riders stability, comfort, security, and connectivity through cloud-connected software and hardware. Multiple sensors installed in the power wheelchair collect data on the current surroundings to provide drive assistance similar to that used in autonomous cars. The sensor data is sent to the MyLUCI mobile app via Bluetooth and further visualized to enable a 360-degree view for the user, helping to prevent thousands of accidents and injuries per year.
“Klika Tech enabled us to transform the way wheelchair riders interact with and respond to people, things, and hazards in and around their environment,” says Jered Dean, co-founder and CTO, LUCI. The development of this first-of-a-kind IoT sensor and cloud-based platform has enabled us to configure, control and program mobile systems and open a safer, more accessible world.”
“We are deeply honored to be recognized as IoT Breakthroughs Awards Public Safety Solution of the Year winner. This award is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our team at Klika Tech and our partners at LUCI,” adds Gennadiy Borisov, president and co-CEO, Klika Tech. “Together, we have harnessed the power of AWS IoT to revolutionize the mobility experience for power wheelchair riders. This platform not only enhances safety and stability but also empowers individuals with greater independence and confidence. We are proud to be at the forefront of this transformative technology, contributing to a more inclusive future for all.”
The mission of the IoT Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators, leaders, and visionaries from around the globe in a range of IoT categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City technology, Connected Home and Home Automation, Connected Car, and many more.
