Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

@frankiebutler.bsky.social while you probably aren't exactly the type of chair user they're thinking of, you may know someone?

I suspect walking/crutching chair users would adapt themselves to labs differently than fulltime chair users and both groups are great for testing but it looked to me like the focus was more on fulltimers. My friend with MS does a lot of stand-ups at grocery stores for example.

Our focus is on both full time and part time chair users, as long as they use their chair while working in the lab! We want to try to make the design as broadly useful as possible, and we don’t yet know how the user needs will differ.
