The work presented below arises from the identification of a relevant social problem that still remains unsolved, which is the need for a low-cost specialized wheelchair for children with a cerebral palsy diagnosis (CP) between 6 and 12 years old. The present research used resources from agile and lean methods, with which the most critical afflictions of the user and his or her main caregiver were identified. Through the market analysis we proposed a solution that is sustainable and profitable: a wheelchair with two additional positions, such as stretcher and standing frame, a product that is not available in the Latin American region which prices and technologies do not make it achievable for the market we chose. Vida en Ruedas is aimed at a user and a customer, the first one is a child diagnosed with PC between 6 and 12 years old and the second one is the parent responsible for his o her care. This business model represents a great opportunity because the need for the child to have a better quality of life is evident, it can also relieve caregiver overload and this solution is socially valuable as it responds to the objectives of SDG 3 Health and well-being. Finally, this business is also financially viable, with cash flow projected to five years of operation, an expected VAN of more than S/1,130,000 was obtained. Although the profitability indicators are not the most attractive in a market of financial initiatives, the main reason for this project is the social benefit that would be achieved by implementing it.
