Did You Know There’s an App For That?!

There are so many benefits of the Golden LiteRider Envy and the Golden Compass power wheelchairs! One of the many, lesser known tools is that they can be enhanced using the Dynamic LiNX joystick control/application (app) supported by BlueTooth. Dynamic LiNX electronics uses load compensation technology, which allows the electronics to control the speed of the motors so that the chair behaves the way the client expects.

Golden LiteRider Envy Power Wheelchair Dynamic Linx App Access Key

The dongle, or access key, plugs in to where you would normally charge the chair, which will then activate Bluetooth and sync the power chair to any Apple device, such as a smartphone or ipad. If you do not have an Apple product, then you can use a PC computer or a hand-held programmer. This amazing technology makes driving the chair simpler and offers a more natural experience, especially if the customer has had a stroke or other impairment. Another great use for this technology is that the chair can be programmed to move more slowly or go one speed in a certain direction, which is essential for Retirement Homes or other busy areas. The app helps make the ride independent of the terrain or the environment. You can also enable tremor dampening to make the controls less sensitive if needed, particularly if the wheelchair user has Parkinsons.

There is a long list of uses for the Dynamic LiNX app. In addition to programming, if the power wheelchair is ever in need of service, the app will also tell you what’s wrong with the chair and how to fix it so that the down time is very minimal. Another benefit is that if the user is farther away and needs immediate assistance, using the app from a smart phone or device, a caregiver can slow down or stop the power chair from 30 feet away. Plus, if you ever need to reset the wheelchair, you can program it back to factory settings with just the push of a button. If you need to, you can also add a timeout feature using the app. And if the power wheelchair is ever in need of service, the app will also tell what’s wrong with the chair and how to fix it, to help service it faster. All of Golden’s power wheelchairs come standard with the Dynamic LiNX controller. This unique technology also makes the ride independent of the terrain or environment by continuously making small adjustments depending on the driving conditions, such as hills, speed and rider weight.
