Dynamic Controls is the world’s leading manufacturer of electronic control systems for power wheelchairs and scooters, with a reputation for going above and beyond industry standard expectations to ensure customers receive the best products possible. This is evident in the development of the iPortal TM, a power chair accessory that connects to an iPhone 3, 3GS, 4 or an iPod touch V2.0 or 3.0 to display wheelchair information in real time. iPortal connects the power chair system via Bluetooth to the iPhone or iPod Touch which can be mounted to the power chair with an adjustable mounting arm and cradle, allowing the user to conveniently position the device to the best angle. The large screens featured on iPhone and iPod touch provide a clear and easy way to display information and it brings the latest mainstream technology to the chair. For further information check out www.dynamiccontrols.com/iportal and telephone us on 0161 370 2661 if you would like a demonstration. Having suffered a spinal cord injury whilst diving in Goa in 2006 which left me paralysed from the neck down at 28, I didn’t believe I would be able to cope with the frustrations this injury was sure to bring. Following a horrendous two months spent fighting against the odds for survival in India, I began to settle into rehabilitating my life and attitude back in the UK. It was frustrating having loved ones and nurses running around after me and I didn’t want others having to make sacrifices for me. I wanted my life to still be inclusive, and to access the same technology as everybody else. So you can imagine my delight when Dynamics asked me to test their iPortal TM system!
I went into the trial with a little apprehension, a lot of excitement and an intention to give this iPortal TM a damn good thrashing!
I did, and it has proved to be absolutely fantastic! I have no hesitation in advocating this life changing solution which fulfils my requirements in a slick, intuitive and easy to understand manner, providing me full and comprehensive functionality using a chin control device from my Invacare wheelchair. This includes calls, texts, emails, facebook and access to my beloved Manchester City’s updates! It has also fulfilled my passion for reading at no further cost! I would like to thank Dynamics for the opportunity, it has been a real pleasure working with them in helping to test & enhance this system! Oh, and the camera came in handy for a few shots during my time on Emmerdale as you’ll see!
