No change in the client-seat base interface is required. Once installed, you can use the free iShear app for real time data monitoring.

The setup is easy: all you need is iShear and a mobile device. Simply download the free iShear app and off you go. It’s shear genius. iShear is a valuable tool which helps you to evaluate the set-up quality of a wheelchair’s seating system in any environment, location and situation.
