The Problem Presented to Us
● Disabled people who are constrained to a wheelchair for day to day living often suffer from decubitus ulcers and other maladies as a result of long term sitting.
● We want a cushion with better weight distribution which will create comfort for the user as well as eliminate sores and improve posture

What We Know About the Current Design
● Body weight is carried by a unique 3-D array of levers that conform to the body and uniformly distribute tissue pressure within each of the seat quadrants
