Problem
Hospitals and airports face challenges in providing and managing wheelchairs for patients and passengers with mobility issues, leading to increased wait times, staffing burdens, and logistical complexities.

The system allows users to rent wheelchairs independently using a simple process involving a mobile number and credit card for a security deposit. Wheelshare manages the entire operation, including station maintenance, wheelchair upkeep, and inventory tracking, enabling healthcare and airport staff to focus on their core responsibilities. This solution enhances user mobility, reduces operational burdens, and improves overall satisfaction for both patients/passengers and facility staff.
