JOSEPH SHAJI

As a graduate in biomedical engineering, I possess a robust foundation in the integration of engineering principles with healthcare applications. For my final year major project, I created a Wheelchair Static Stability Testing System to evaluate the safety of wheelchairs in accordance with ISO 7176 standards. The system included a tiltable platform operated by a servo motor, equipped with Force Sensing Resistors (FSRs) and an Arduino Uno microprocessor to assess contact forces and tipping angles. Results were shown on an OLED screen, facilitating the assessment of tipping angles to guarantee adherence to safety regulations (12° for manual wheelchairs and 16° for electric wheelchairs). This project demonstrated my expertise in sensor technology, hardware integration, and embedded systems, while advancing assistive technology innovation to enhance user safety and mobility.
