Patients in hospitals always want to overcome the problem of travelling or carrying from wheelchair to stretcher or from stretcher to wheelchair which makes it kind of uncomfortable for both the patient and handler. An attempt has been made to design a wheelchair with the benefits of both wheelchair and stretcher in single unit. It has an added advantage because in hospitals and airports we need to provide both stretcher and wheelchair for their respective uses which makes them costly. But by using this, multi usable one we can reduce the overall cost as it can be used as both wheelchair cum stretcher based on a person’s requirement. For the future, there is always scope for improvement, such as to make it motorized using motors which helps disabled people to drive or operate it themselves. We can also make it renewable using solar energy so that the use of batteries and other electricity equipment is limited and so thus we can make it solar powered convertible wheelchair cum stretcher by use of solar panels which makes it more efficient.
