In 2018, designers and manufacturers from 59 countries submitted more than 6,300 objects to the competition. True to the motto \u201cIn search of good design and innovation\u201d, a jury comprising roughly 40 members assessed the products individually based on the original. The strict judging criteria, which include level of innovation, functionality, formal quality, ergonomics and durability, provide a frame of reference which the jurors then complement with their own expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">This award is another great encouragement after the chair was awarded the <a href=\"http:\/\/ifworlddesignguide.com\/entry\/148996-evo-lectus\"><b>2015 iF Design Award<\/b><b>. <\/b><\/a>It continues to drive us to help users with serious symptoms to have independent mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">The growth of the aging population has directed the worldwide wheelchair industry to focus strongly on the elderly demand. However, there are still small groups of people who suffer from rare diseases. These patients have very little control over their body, just like the world-renowned physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking. Therefore, they need a very specific kind of assistive technology to help them to live up with their potential. This is our motive to create EVO Altus.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1878105782\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/LM-Janneke-8FF-L-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/LM-Janneke-8FF-L-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/LM-Janneke-8FF-L-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/LM-Janneke-8FF-L-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/LM-Janneke-8FF-L-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/LM-Janneke-8FF-L.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1878105782 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #image_1878105782 {\n    width: 75%;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-size: 75%;\">EVO Altus with Standing Function<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">The R&amp;D teams from KARMA Taiwan &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/karma-europe.com\/\">KARMA Europe<\/a> have been working for three years to develop this advanced power wheelchair.
