Braze Mobility

Our CEO & Founder, Pooja Viswanathan, was recently featured in IEEE Spectrum, sharing her vision for the next generation of smart wheelchair technology.

Pooja discusses the critical path from fully autonomous AI systems (like REXASI-PRO) to practical solutions. The conversation highlights the technical challenge of human-centered AI—creating sensors and algorithms that learn a user's unique motor and cognitive needs to provide personalized, trustworthy assistance in real-time.

A key point? The future of autonomous mobility is not about having a chair that drives for you. It’s about leveraging Artificial Intelligence to create a smart co-pilot that gives you the agency and confidence to explore your world.

Pooja emphasizes that the goal of assistive technology must always be to support, not replace the user.

Her mission is to create reliability—using AI to develop technology that works not just in ideal lab conditions but in the variable, "messy" conditions of real-world daily life, while keeping costs accessible.

AI-Powered Wheelchairs: Are They Ready for Real Life? AI smart wheelchairs promise autonomy, but cost and reliability remain hurdles.

Had an incredible time in Tucson, Arizona last week, exhibiting at the Reliable Medical Summit!

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Reliable Medical team and share how we’re continuing to push the boundaries of independence and safety for wheelchair users. Whether it’s our blind spot sensors or backup camera, feedback from partners on the front lines of complex rehab technology (CRT) is invaluable.

At Braze Mobility, we’re focused on creating technology that is not only life-changing for the user but also strong on margins and easy to explain to our providers.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth to chat and discuss how we can better serve the community together!
