N2 - Conventional power wheelchair models often prioritize basic navigation and comfort at the expense of user-centric solutions. This overlooks the opportunity for solutions that can address specific challenges and promote user empowerment towards a sustainable society. This article explores a cyber-physical social system (CPSS) approach for power wheelchairs; a CPSS that brings together different stakeholders to promote better understanding, customization, and assistance of wheelchairs. The aim is to enhance user experience and safety while contributing to sustainability in the sector. To achieve this, this approach comprehends the use of digital twin (DT) technology employing Petri net models. DT allows for the creation of a virtual replica of a power wheelchair (or part), enabling iterative design through real-time simulations and remote control. Petri nets specify the DT within the CPSS, facilitating formal analysis and automated implementation.
