Abstract

Recent aging of the population has led to an increased number of persons requiring assistance and a shortage of caregivers. Wheelchairs are often used for transportation by people who require assistance, but they must use appropriate operating techniques because they can easily impose burdens on caregivers when climbing over steps. Therefore, for this study, an educational system was developed based on issues elucidated by conventional educational methods and earlier research. Assistive technology evaluation in this system is performed from the perspective of a passenger’s riding comfort by measuring and analyzing the wheelchair’s degree of tilt and vibration level using a sensor. The system provides a learner with feedback for adopting an appropriate operating posture based on the evaluation results. This system can engender efficient learning by quantitatively measuring and presenting the learner’s level of proficiency and by providing immediate feedback according to the user’s proficiency level.
