EXETER, PA – Quantum Rehab® is pleased to announce its implementation of a customized cloud-base application that allows real-time market feedback, centered around consumer experience, to rapidly respond toward enhancing products and services.
The Quantum Rapid Response System (QRRS) is cloud-based technology that enables field staff and any team member working with complex rehab consumers, clinicians and providers to convey real-time feedback to corporate departments via a smartphone, tablet or computer. This market feedback is immediately addressed by applicable departments, including R&D, Quality, Production, Sales and Customer Service. As a result, consumer- and market-inspired needs can be addressed in as little as hours in some cases. QRRS allows real solutions in real time for improved products and services and, most importantly, optimal consumer outcomes
“Focusing on consumer-inspired complex rehab products and solutions, we wanted a way to convey consumer and market feedback throughout our entire organization as quickly as possible for prompt solutions and results,” shares Megan Kutch, M.S. O.T.R., Director of Quantum Marketing. “With the cutting-edge technology of QRRS, we have the ability to distribute consumer needs from the field among our team almost instantaneously, and deliver solutions remarkably fast.”
QRRS was recently used to enhance Quantum’s iLevel™ seat elevation technology. “Consumers loved iLevel at 3 mph, but felt it could use a little more speed for crossing streets while elevated for visibility,” explains Jean Sayre, M.S. O.T., ATP, Senior Director of R&D Clinical Development. “QRRS allowed immediate consumer feedback from the field, and with all of the proper protocols followed, we were able to both increase iLevel’s driving speed to 3.5 mph and have a field update for existing units in under 4 days.”
Quantum looks forward to using QRRS as an industry-leading tool toward further refining its consumer-inspired complex rehab products, reducing time-sensitive gaps between field feedback and real-time solutions.

Like so many of its product innovations, Quantum Rehab®’s new iLevel® technology was the result of consumer feedback. Knowing consumers wanted to be at eye level with others and still move at walking speed, Quantum engineers developed a new power adjustable seat height solution that allowed a power chair to drive up to 3.0 mph at 10” of lift.
Now, after extensive safety testing, we have increased the maximum speed on iLevel Power Chairs from 3.0 to 3.5 mph when fully elevated. This increase was the direct result of additional consumer feedback.
The added speed will take iLevel’s life-enhancing benefits to new heights, allowing consumers to socialize and complete their activities of daily living even more easily.

EXETER, PA – Quantum Rehab®, a Pride Mobility Products® company, is pleased to announce the unveiling of its revolutionary iLevel™ seat elevation technology at the 2015 International Seating Symposium (ISS). Designed to dramatically enhance the quality of life of those with disabilities, iLevel technology allows users to remain mobile at eye-level standing heightx while operating the power wheelchair at walking speed.
iLevel is an integrated power seating system that elevates up to 10″, while simultaneously stabilizing the power wheelchair via advanced electronics and suspension, allowing full functionality at walking speeds up to 3 mph.
“Having been a power chair user for eight years, iLevel has truly changed my life,” shares Kiel Eigen, 22, a C5 quadriplegic as the result of a football accident. “In my previous chairs, I rarely used the seat lift because I really couldn’t move anywhere. With iLevel, I have full mobility at standing heightx, so from grocery shopping to strolling the boardwalk with my girlfriend, I have independence and stature that I haven’t known since my accident. It’s doubled my functionality over a normal power chair.”
iLevel is being released exclusively on the new Q6 Edge® 2.0, an iLevel-ready power base. The Q6 Edge 2.0, with its single-stage drive train and redesigned caster arms for enhanced performance, accepts iLevel technology at the time of order or is easily retrofitted at a later date.
As an integrated, intuitive system, iLevel operates seamlessly. With the touch of a single button, the seating raises or lowers in a mere 24 seconds, including while the power wheelchair is driving, and iLevel technology automatically regulates the stability-enhanced suspension and speed, ensuring both functionality and safety.
“Consumers expressed experiencing so many limitations in existing elevating seats that we knew we had to address ‘eye-level’ mobility as a quality of life issue,” explains Scott Meuser, Chairman and CEO of Quantum and Pride. “We want to empower and delight our customers above all else. iLevel is one of those innovations that exponentially makes the world more accessible and socially inclusive for power chair users. There are so many of these types of situations where elevation at walking speed completely opens up a new world of opportunity and further equality. It’s the life-changing applications that show the significance of iLevel technology in the market at large and individual’s lives. We feel privileged to be introducing such customer-inspired technology.”
Quantum iLevel power wheelchairs will be available for demonstration at ISS, Booth 524, February 25-27, 2015, at the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center, Nashville, Tenn.
