IIT Madras develops electric standing wheelchair 'NeoStand' for mobility-challenged people.

IIT Madras has developed an electric standing wheelchair, 'NeoStand', customisable for people with mobility challenges. This device allows users to transition between sitting and standing positions, providing greater independence. The R2D2 Centre of IIT-M has received three patents for this invention. The project was supported by Tata Elxsi's CSR initiative, and medical professionals believe that assistive technologies like Neostand can help people with disabilities become more included in society.
