Mobility Support Using Electric Carts to Improve the Health and Wellbeing of the Older People in the Community
Mobility is crucial for older adults to live healthy, active, and rewarding lives. Research institutes at Chiba University and Nihon Fukushi University worked with Yamaha Motor Co. and several local governments to address this problem by introducing electric carts that could be used on public roads in the community. They introduced an operational model that is easy for older people to use and easy for governments to implement.
