The Sensoria system uses a force-sensing mat installed under the wheelchair cushion that connects via Bluetooth to a mobile app. The mobile app displays information about weight shifts, goal-setting functions, and feedback on performance/outcomes.

The AW-Shift system uses a pressure-sensing mat installed on top of the wheelchair cushion that connects via Bluetooth to a mobile app. The mobile app displays visual representation of the seating surface and can set reminders for weight shifts.
