Officials at LUCI and Sunrise Medical announce their partnership, which will soon make LUCI’s smart wheelchair technology available to new users of the QUICKIE line of power wheelchairs.
Starting in September, this collaboration will bring LUCI to Sunrise Medical’s QUICKIE line of power wheelchairs. This means wheelchair users will be able to access the performance and maneuverability of a QUICKIE chair combined with the smarts and safety of LUCI, according to a news release.
“From the day LUCI launched, we have been eager to find a way to give our customers access to this industry-leading technology. This partnership formed around the shared values and common goals of Sunrise Medical and LUCI, and we’re excited for the additional safety, security and independence we can now offer to power wheelchair users across the country to truly live without limits.”
— Larry Jackson, President of Sunrise Medical North America
Teams from Fresno, Calif-based Sunrise Medical and Nashville, Tenn-headquartered LUCI have spent more than a year collaborating to make sure LUCI and QUICKIE work together as seamlessly as possible. Both companies expect to announce further details regarding specific technology and products soon.
“It’s been an amazing opportunity to collaborate with the brilliant team at Sunrise, and I’m really excited to show the wheelchair community all the great work we’ve done. Sunrise immediately recognized the value and safety LUCI brings to this market and have been a great partner ever since. Our engineering and innovation teams worked really hard to integrate LUCI and QUICKIE as seamlessly as possible, giving our wheelchair drivers the simplicity and freedom they deserve.”
— Jered Dean, LUCI co-founder and Chief Technology Officer
