Braze Mobility’s BrazeCam backup camera is now available to order for wheelchair users in the United States.
In an announcement, the Toronto-based tech company said, “BrazeCam addresses a common challenge for wheelchair users: limited awareness of what’s behind them when reversing or navigating tight spaces. While BrazeCam is a standalone solution, it is designed to perfectly complement Braze Mobility’s existing blind spot sensor system, providing users with a comprehensive, multi-modal approach to environmental navigation.”
BrazeCam, also available in Canada, features a high-definition screen, flexible mounting options and simple on/off toggle or switch controls. The system “builds on Braze Mobility’s mission to bring thoughtful design and proven concepts into the mobility space. Whether used as a standalone visual aid or paired with the company’s signature blind spot sensors for total spatial awareness, the system supports everyday wheelchair use through improved environmental awareness.”
“Wheelchair users are constantly navigating environments where visibility is limited,” said Pooja Viswanathan, Ph.D., CEO and founder of Braze Mobility. “BrazeCam gives users greater awareness of their surroundings so they can move with more confidence and control.”
The system is available to order through industry providers as well as through Veterans Affairs.
Braze Mobility continues to expand its blind-spot sensors’ availability. Last spring, the company announced a partnership with Paragon Mobility to distribute the sensors in Australia. In September, Braze Mobility announced a new collaboration with Beyond Mobility to distribute the sensors in the United Kingdom.
