Existing solutions

The solution is a motorized couch called the La-Z-Boy that can tip forward to easily let people out of the chair.​ It helps the solution pretty well by propping the person up and lowering them. ​It could be better by the cost of it. It is also very big and takes up a lot of space.

Its a normal chair with bars on the side to help get up.​ It addresses the problem ok. It helps by using your upper body to stand and sit.​ It's all upper body and what if you don't have full mobility of your arms? It is also very big and clunky for a small chair.
