Taking the iPhone to a whole new level of functionality, Dynamic Controls has just announced they’ll be releasing an iPhone app soon that will allow disabled individuals the freedom to control their power wheelchairs via the iPhone or iPod Touch.

It works via Bluetooth and as you can see with the screenshots above, is a very comprehensive app that also displays a variety of wheelchair settings as well.

Here’s what CEO Charlotte Walshe of Dynamic Controls had to say about their new offering:

“We recognised the iPhone has revolutionized the way people communicate and saw the opportunity to develop this solution for wheelchair users, taking full advantage of Apple’s ‘Works with iPod / Made for iPhone’ developer program.”

This iPhone app will probably become available next year once the compatible wheelchair controller is launched in the market already. As useful as this iPhone app is, you definitely wouldn’t want this falling into the hands of the wrong person as this can certainly have dire consequences in the end.
