Problems solved by technology

In addition, people with limited mobility who require a motorized scooter, transport chair, or other means of conveyance frequently have no practical or convenient apparatus for carrying personal and medical items that is easily portable, adaptable, and close at hand whether at home, work, or in transit.

Additionally, conference tables generally lack drawers or other storage means.

While carrying such objects on the lap may be an option for those confined to a sitting or supine position, this option can lead to discomfort or inconvenience as carried objects weigh on the legs or slip to the floor.

However, attempts to hand-carry objects while using a walker or rollator can compromise the user's grip on their mobility device, contributing to injurious and potentially fatal falls.
