Nantes University Hospital has been experimenting with a self-service wheelchair system. The model proposed by the Israeli company Wheelshare declines the classic operating mode of a shared bicycle service, in the style of the Parisian Vélib' or the Nantes Bicloo.
A first station was installed at the end of January in the main hall of the Hôtel-Dieu; a second was deployed at the beginning of the week, near the pediatrics department. In total, 14 armchairs were ordered; they complement the older seats still available on their premises.
