Concept study

Shower enclosure + transfer chair

Mar 2026

A compact wheelchair designed only for moving into a fixed wash-and-dry enclosure in a normal bathroom. The person stays seated; the system washes and dries; the chair rolls out.

Person-centred considerations

The concept supports inclusion in ordinary bathroom routines for people who can transfer to a chair but need assistance with full-body cleaning.

Open questions

Further work on enclosure size, water temperature control, drying comfort, and how the chair integrates with existing bathroom layouts.
