Mardan student develops brain-controlled wheelchair

A talented student of Engineering University Mardan has developed a wheelchair powered by electricity but controlled by human brain, reported 24NewsHDTV channel on Thursday.

The pioneer of the unique wheelchair, Adil Bacha, said that this wheelchair is made for those patients whose brain works but the rest of the body is paralyzed.

Adil Bacha further said that it is designed for such patients who cannot even speak. The patient himself can move from one place to another through his brain-controlled wheelchair, he added.

“I have developed this wheelchair so that patients can move freely from one place to another,” he said.

He said that further work is being done to get rid of the patient from the wheelchair.
