Everything You Need to Know About Fold

Fold is designed to provide enough usable platform space for a wide range of manual and power wheelchair configurations while still folding down for storage at home.

Before purchasing, compare your wheelchair or mobility device dimensions with the usable Fold platform. Power chairs, accessories, bags, cushions, oxygen equipment, and other routinely carried items can all affect the overall footprint and combined weight.

1,200 lb

Combined user + wheelchair + equipment

The capacity applies to the total load placed on Fold — not only the person’s body weight. This matters especially for power wheelchairs, where the chair itself may weigh several hundred pounds before the user and additional equipment are included.

Fold is designed for manual and power wheelchairs and can accommodate many mobility scooters and other mobility devices when their wheelbase, dimensions, and combined weight fit within the Fold platform and 1,200 lb capacity.

Many mobility scooters and other mobility devices may also work when:

• The wheelbase fits safely on the platform
• All required contact points remain on the weighing surface
• The combined load stays within the 1,200 lbs combined capacity

Compatibility depends on the actual dimensions and configuration of the mobility device rather than simply its category.

Accessibility was not added to Fold after the product was designed. It shaped the platform from the beginning.

Fold was designed with accessible patient-weighing considerations, including the space needed to accommodate a wheelchair user while remaining seated.

Designed with accessible patient-weighing considerations and to meet applicable accessibility standards.

Fold should be placed on a surface that is:

• Hard
• Level
• Stable

Good examples include:

• Hardwood
• Tile
• Vinyl
• Concrete
• Other hard, flat flooring

Fold should be used on a hard, level surface. Soft carpet, thick rugs, mats, or uneven flooring can affect how load is transferred through the platform and may affect the consistency of the reading.

Fold measures the combined load of:

You + your wheelchair + the equipment on your chair

The Fold Health app then subtracts the chair weight you have saved.

Users can enter their chair weight directly or select a supported chair from the Fold Health chair library. An estimated chair weight creates an estimated body-weight calculation — update the chair weight later when a more precise number is available.

Fold is designed for consistent weight tracking when used on a hard, level surface. Final numerical accuracy specifications will be published following completed production validation.

The scale gives you the measurement. Fold Health helps you understand what changes over time.

• Connects to Fold over Bluetooth Low Energy
• Stores your saved chair weight and subtracts it from the combined reading
• Supports more than one saved chair, so the right weight is used each time
• Keeps your readings so you can see how weight changes over time
• Marks whether a chair weight is estimated or known

Fold connects to the app over Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0+. Fold Health supports Android and iOS 14 or later.
