MyPermobil

MyPermobil is the official companion application for users of compatible Permobil power wheelchairs. This app is designed to enhance your independence by providing direct, real-time connectivity with your chair. It delivers crucial information like battery range estimates, travel distance, and seating data, allowing for greater confidence and control in daily mobility. The primary reason to download MyPermobil is to gain deeper insights into your chair's performance and to proactively manage your daily journey, ensuring you can go further without unexpected interruptions.

Real-Time Battery and Range Estimation

MyPermobil connects directly to your power wheelchair’s systems to calculate a precise estimate of your remaining travel distance. This is not a simple battery percentage; it uses an advanced, proprietary algorithm that factors in your current battery level, recent driving behavior, and terrain. You start by opening the app, which automatically syncs with your chair. The primary screen displays the estimated range in kilometers or miles, allowing you to plan your trips effectively. The result is a clear understanding of how much farther you can travel, helping you decide when it’s time to charge or schedule battery maintenance, thus preventing you from being stranded.

Integrated Journey Mapping

The application includes an integrated map feature to assist with navigation and journey tracking. Upon granting the necessary permissions, MyPermobil can log your routes and display your current location directly within the app. This allows you to visually track where you have been and plan where you want to go next. The workflow is straightforward: the app runs in the background during your travels, and you can review your trip history later. This function is particularly useful for retracing routes or for providing accurate travel logs to healthcare providers or family members who assist with your care.

Seating Activity and Behavior Tracking

This feature monitors and records your seating behavior, including sit-to-stand cycles and seat elevation usage, if your chair is equipped with these functions. MyPermobil automatically collects this data during your daily use. You can access a history of this activity within the app, which presents the information in a clear, timeline-based format. The primary action for you is simply to use your chair as normal; the tracking happens seamlessly. The resulting data is valuable for personal insight and can be easily shared with clinicians to facilitate discussions about your seating health and pressure relief patterns, optimizing your comfort and well-being.

Proactive Maintenance and Diagnostics

MyPermobil serves as an early warning system for your power wheelchair’s health. The app communicates with the chair’s internal diagnostics to monitor the status of key components. You are not required to perform any active scans; the system provides alerts and notifications automatically if it detects an issue, such as a potential battery problem or a required service. The user’s workflow involves reviewing these alerts when they appear. This allows you to contact your Permobil provider proactively, often before a minor issue becomes a major malfunction, ensuring your chair remains reliable and reducing unexpected downtime.

Personalization and Goal Setting

Beyond monitoring, MyPermobil allows you to engage with your mobility data through personal goals. You can set targets for daily or weekly distance traveled. The app tracks your progress against these goals as you go about your day. You interact by viewing your progress on a dedicated dashboard, which provides a sense of accomplishment and motivation. This feedback loop encourages an active lifestyle by turning daily movement into achievable objectives. The data from MyPermobil helps you understand your activity patterns and work towards improving your overall mobility independence.
