First comment, lol. Yay Apple for being accessibility friendly💖

I love having this capability, but I don't understand why the wheelchair settings have to be hidden four layers down. Speaking for the thousands of hybrid wheelchair users (wheelchair long distances, walking short distances), it is a real pain having to toggle this setting multiple times every day to get the watch to accurately measure activity. At least open up the Watch App to Siri Automation so I can simply use Siri to toggle wheelchair between Yes and No. Or best case scenario, make wheelchair and stand mode automatically detected modes based on type of motion detected.

So glad I found this video just opened my first Apple Watch and the wheelchair feature was one of the deciding factors so I was pretty disappointed when I couldn’t figure out how to change it from walking to wheeling and was worried that you could only have one or the other (I can still walk but need my wheelchair on my bad days and long journeys ) so this has put that worry aside

Isn’t it amazing how much care apple puts into their devices for accessibility.
Btw if you set yes you get pushes instead of steps so that shows Apple cares.

How about non wheelchair disabled persons workout tracking? Like instead of using using wheelchair, if someone uses calliper or callipers, with or without crutches. Can they able to track their workouts using Apple Watch or using Apple Health app?

hope they don’t tell those people that is time to stand up

Is this okay to use for non wheel chair, who just need to measure chair exercise ?

[ilovebrean]

Will you be making it so you can edit these details from the actual watch ?

which setting is the closest for a power wheelchair user i have my communication aid mounted on a daisy bar to my chair . i hold the bar to keep my balance so the watch will pick up going over bumps but what do i do to help calibrate better, i have in the past calibrated my movement to 0.01 distance per step /mile . but not sure what activity is closest to using a power chair
