All you need to know about CoMoveIT Smart

Powered wheelchair steering with head only or head-foot touch pads

The CoMoveIT Smart is an intelligent steering system that is mounted on the back of a powered wheelchair. It can be used in different configurations. As a headset only it functions with a back pad, and one left and right pad. You control the wheelchair by just pushing your head against one of these pads. For those with foot ability, one or two foot pads can be installed.

Each pad can be designated with the function to drive, steer or access the menu.

As a professional wheelchair advisor to end-users, you want to offer the perfect solution to you clients. Playing around with different configurations to find that one method that works best for the end-user, gives you joy to no end!

Auto-calibration at every start

At every start and re-start, the system reverts to a baseline and automatically calibrates. A few seconds later the automatic adaptation takes over for further use.

Wheelchair advisors benefit from the assurance that the system consistently offers accurate and reliable performance, simplifying their recommendations and ensuring user satisfaction.

Continuous and automatic adaptation to the user

The CoMoveIT Smart is a unique steering system that adapts the wheelchair control to the user. The system keeps track of the way it is being used by the driver and automatically adapts the control to the driver. Even with high tension, very low power or interrupted pressure, the system will transfer the correct signals to the wheelchair to allow for a smooth driver control.

As an advisor you can concentrate on the user: no need for programming, no need to constantly adjust settings, CoMoveIT Smart does it for you, also after delivery.

Interface access to peripherals, computer and gaming

CoMoveIT Smart is connected to a wheelchair control system (e.g. OMNI2) that easily allows to interface with assistive technology, different peripherals, computer, laptop or gaming equipment

In our FAQ section, you can find a lot more technical details about how this can be set up.

As a wheelchair advisor you find this characteristic advantageous as it provides a versatile solution with various assistive technologies, making it easier to address individual user needs and preferences.

Intuitive and comfortable driving

CoMoveIT Smart’s automatic adaption quickly results in an intuitive way of driving that brings maximum comfort to the user. No need to worry about what force to use or to think about the method to steer.

As a wheelchair supplier, you want to offer a user-friendly solution and be confident that customers will drive without too much instructions.

Generally reimbursed – Price level

As our development is based on research, the underpinning of the solution is present and as good as all submitted requests for reimbursements are approved. For many of our users there is no other clinically sound system to be used.

Wheelchair advisors benefit from being able to confidently recommend a solution that has a strong likelihood of reimbursement, making it an attractive and practical choice for their clients' mobility needs. For information about the price level please contact CoMoveIT.

Therapeutic effect

Our users experience a therapeutic effect already during the initial assessment. This therapeutic effect is multi faceted.

A reduction in pathological tonus and involuntary movements, thanks to the algorithm, the use of the sensors and the intuitive set-up.
More symmetry during driving and improved posture as the head is always assigned a function during driving. Increased symmetry and a reduction in pathological tone, will lead to a delayed and reduced onset of musculoskeletal deformities and decrease pain complaints should those exists.
An improvement in spatial awareness and improved societal participation. We know these factors lead to increased emotional maturity and well-being.
Increased independence, self-confidence and general quality of life.

Some of these effects become apparent during the initial assessment phase, whilst others become clearer during the longer-term use of the CoMoveIT Smart.

Advising a steering system that not only has a functional aspect, but also a therapeutic effect proves to your customers and the multidisciplinary teams you work with, that you take a holistic, full-body approach to the solutions you suggest.

Easy learning

The automatic adaptation to the user, the auto-calibration, the intuitive driving, they are all elements of CoMoveIT Smart, that make controlling a wheelchair an easy task. Since the best configuration is determined based on the abilities of the user, the user doesn’t have to think about how to control the wheelchair.

Wheelchair advisors can offer a system that not only enhances mobility but also promotes client’s overall well-being , while simultaneously boosting efficiency for healthcare professionals. A shorter learning curve also translates to fewer interventions.
Strengthening the relationship with healthcare professionals is beneficial in the long term.

Evidence-based top-notch technology

At Belgian university KU Leuven, a thorough research project resulted in scientific insights in both technical as well as clinical aspects that determined the solution that CoMoveIT Smart is today. We have summarized these insights in a white paper. To receive a copy, contact us here.

Wheelchair advisors benefit from the credibility and comprehensive understanding of the solution’s technical and clinical aspects, allowing them to confidently recommend a solution based on robust research.

Cutting-edge sensors & smart algorithms

To a large extent, the innovation of CoMoveIT lies in the use of specific high-tech pressure sensors and the smart software algorithms that process these signals. More technical details can be found in the FAQ section.

As a wheelchair advisor you are able to offer your clients a technologically advanced solutions that contains state-of-the-art sensors and algorithms, allowing you to provide your users with a high-performance product.

Hassle-free fitting and maintenance

The installation of CoMoveIT Smart is a relatively easy task. The headset is mounted on the seat, or the frame and foot plates are attached with strong Velcro on top of the footrest. After programming the wheelchair control, the chair is ready to drive. Further fitting is done without tools or software, simply plug and drive.

Wheelchair advisors highly appreciate this characteristic! The easy installation and straightforward maintenance contribute to a simplified and efficient support experience for both advisors and their clients.

Free of programming

CoMoveIT Smart itself doesn’t need programming or custom settings, not even at installation. The included pre-programmed software works automatically, and the auto-adapting part assures the system works as if it is customized.

As wheelchair advisors, you can test and deliver the system without programming the CoMoveIT Smart. Programming the wheelchair control system (like R-Net) is an expertise you already have. Nothing new, making CoMoveIT Smart work perfectly and ensuring a hassle-free experience for both you and your clients.

CoMoveIT Smart is technically compatible with almost all wheelchairs. With several signed compatibility certificates in place. More information about compatibility can be found here.

For wheelchair advisors, the system’s versatility is nice as it allows them to address diverse client preferences and needs, facilitating a tailored recommendation that aligns with individual choices. Keep in mind, CoMoveIT Smart is not compatible with the LinX system generally used on Invacare chairs.

CoMoveIT works in full compliance with all required regulation. Additionally, our products are built according to the ISO13485 standard.
