Abstract: Patients have never been easy to transport, though several methods have been used to address this issue, from basic stretchers to advanced wheeled equipment. Even with advancements in medicine, moving patients between beds, stretchers, and wheelchairs is still challenging for caretakers. A wheelchair that can be transformed into a stretcher is suggested as a solution, with the goal of making use easier and enhancing patient comfort. Many disabled persons today rely on wheelchairs to help them move about. With robots, sensors, and artificial intelligence (AI), smart wheelchairs provide improved features to boost productivity and freedom. This evaluation delves into the state-of-the-art smart wheelchair technologies and recommends avenues for future investigation. Additionally, a multipurpose wheelchair with increased patient lifting capabilities, powered mobility, and features including object recognition, vertical movement, black line detection, and an integrated buzzer are being developed. This cutting-edge tool attempts to empower wheelchair users and reduce caregiver workloads. This abstract analyzes smart wheelchair technology, addresses historical mobility issues, suggests improvements in mobility aids, and introduces the multifunctional wheelchair with its cutting-edge features for better healthcare mobility solutions. Wheelchairs, stretchers, mobility aids, smart wheelchairs, multifunctional wheelchairs, healthcare, artificial intelligence, robotics, sensors, vertical movement, black line detection, and integrated buzzers are among the terms that are used.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Sensors, Smart wheelchair.
