Street Rehab in India

An EPSRC GCRF project the project tested a new methodology for creating accessible maps for fast-changing cities like Delhi.

Initially, the project also aimed to capture rehabilitation metrics whilst pushing a wheelchair beyond a clinical environment, but instead the community of wheelchair users we worked with preferred to use the tool as an advocacy tool.
