If @elonmusk is now worth a trillion dollars, that means he has earned the equivalent of $1 per second since 30,000 BC. If Jesus earned the equivalent of $10 per second since his birth until today, he would still be roughly $400 BILLION short. That is a lot of carpentry. 😳
Had such an awesome visit back to my alma mater and seeing why @UofIllinois is ranked as one of the most accessible campuses in the nation. Special thanks to Dr. Rice for hosting and for letting me share the LUCI story with the amazing faculty and students. #wheelchairsmarter
Thank you to @AHSIllinois for recently hosting us on campus, as well as the students, staff and faculty engaged during the visit. We appreciated the thoughtful discussion about accessibility and mobility on campus, and LUCI’s technology and role in it.
To us, Valentine's Day is about more than just love. It's about appreciation, friendship and joy. And with joy, there must be delight.
Our "joystick rule" embraces that, offering LUCI users joystick colors that they can use, and change, to their heart's delight! 💚💜🧡❤️💛💙

So proud of the team. Building a tool like Sandbox is exactly the kind of thing you do when you care about users and recognize the urgent need to accelerate innovation and research to further the industry. #wheelchairsmarter
Today, we're proud to announce the launch of LUCI Sandbox – a dedicated program to bring together developers and research partners who share our commitment to solving real problems that exist for wheelchair users now.

There are so many benefits to safe and independent driving - including the less obvious ones discussed by Emma’s mom in this clip. Glad to see LUCI can help create this kind of profound experience. #wheelchairsmarter
There’s a reason expert clinicians believe LUCI should be available to all power wheelchair drivers. See how LUCI empowers drivers like Emma to move about the world confidently, safely and independently.
Truth. This type of driver feedback is exactly what motivates our team to keep fighting for a real-world technology future that includes people living with a disability. LUCI is a game changer indeed. #wheelchairsmarter#gamechanger
LUCI is always looking for doors that open when others close. Driving mobility solutions has been a part of our mission since day one.
Thank you to @Forbes and @wishart_smith for sharing more on our story and how LUCI is shaping the future of mobility. https://t.co/0zDjpNeZ2b
Rather than starting from scratch and building a cutting-edge wheelchair from the ground up, these inventors built a high-tech wheelchair upgrade kit. https://t.co/1Rdk557SO6
Please read link by @thebarrydean on injustices caused by the “in the home” coverage policy of CMS. You should care about inclusivity for the disability community because it is the only marginalized minority group any of us can join on a moment’s notice. Create the change.
Many power wheelchair users live full, active lives, yet Medicare only covers their needs "in the home." This week in @STATNews, LUCI co-founder @TheBarryDean calls on @CMSGov to consider the full scope of riders’ lives in its coverage decisions: https://t.co/Q94hex9UYC
My childhood piano teacher used to say “Can’t is spelled W. O. N. Apostrophe T.” I love that the LUCI joystick rule challenges the “can’t” of this industry for people living with a disability. #wheelchairsmarter
I literally cannot contain my excitement about how cool this new LUCI capability is. Why wouldn’t a wheelchair driver expect the same modern tech the rest of the world enjoys every day?!?? You ask, LUCI delivers. Please check out the latest innovation. #wheelchairsmarter
Finally, a chair with a view.
The belief that power wheelchair riders deserve access to the same advanced technology as everyone else is central to all we do. And it’s one of the reasons we’re excited to roll out our latest industry-leading feature on the MyLuci app, LUCI View
Oh my. I’m both saddened and angered by this tragic story at the same time. So avoidable in today’s modern world. Everyone deserves safe, independent mobility. Sidewalk curbs should never be a family’s new nightmare. One accident like this is simply one too many.
LUCI firmly believes everyone deserves to feel safe and protected, regardless of their level of mobility, and is motivated to continue the work we do to transform the power wheelchair industry to be safer and more inclusive.
"The forces observed in a wheelchair crash actually exceeded the limits that are allowed by federal law for a car in a car crash." - Matt Maltese, PhD, Crash Test Expert
Mobility is a right, safety is too.
