Engineers design Lilypad - a weighing device for wheelchair users

The Lilypad Scale for manual wheelchairs allows you to weigh yourself easily at home without getting out of your wheelchair. It's composed of 4 weighing pads, one under each of the wheels of your wheelchair, which attach to a flexible mat. The scale weighs just 7 lbs and folds up for storage, so it's easy to use even in a small apartment. It has a weight capacity of 400 lbs and accuracy within 0.5 lbs. The scale connects with your smartphone or tablet so you can read the weight easily when weighing yourself.
