Braze Mobility

Braze Mobility transforms any wheelchair into a Smart Wheelchair

It's not cameras. Our technology is blind spot sensors, obstacle detection systems, proximity sensors, proximity alarms and alerts.

Note: Our system does NOT detect drop-offs, soft material, or objects out of view of the sensors. Legally blind customers often use our sensors in conjunction with a white cane to navigate outdoors.

Our system supports your right to drive your wheelchair by enhancing your spatial awareness, while leaving you fully in control.

Braze sensors can be set up anywhere around the wheelchair. Just tell us where you need the coverage when you request a quote. Our solutions are often used as backup sensors, proximity sensors, proximity alarms, orientation and mobility aids, and blind rehabilitation aids.

Founded in 2016, Braze Mobility provides effective navigation for wheelchair users.

Braze Mobility provides an affordable navigation solution for wheelchair users. Our blind spot sensors enable our clients to the avoid the embarrassment, damage or injury that can occur when they are moving around. The solution automatically detects obstacles and provides intuitive audio, visual and vibration alerts to the wheelchair driver, so that they understand the location of an object and how close it is, while staying fully in control.

Our solution provides peace of mind and confidence to our users.

Our passion to create accessible technologies began upon visiting a long-term care facility. We noticed that several residents had limited mobility due to physical impairments, and were being denied powered mobility devices due to safety concerns. We saw this as a violation of a fundamental human right.

We are dedicated to increasing independence, safety, and overall quality of life for people living with mobility impairment. We engage with our end-users throughout the design process in order to create accessible and innovative technologies that are affordable and easy to use.
