2025 Pressure Mapping
Research Study

The Kalogon team will be traveling across the U.S. holding a series of pressure mapping research events.

 

The purpose of this research is to work with people with lived wheelchair experience to explore how well Kalogon’s products and future products service them, thus allowing Kalogon to ensure our products meet the needs of a wide group of wheelchair users.
