Looking for ideas for a project - what would help you in the kitchen?

Xelatats · February 6

Hi Everyone! My name is Alex, I am a Y1 Product Design student, I am currently tasked with a brief aimed at inclusive design and an inclusive home. I am focussing my project on a product to help people who have a prosthetic arm. I am currently thinking about creating a wearable product that may help with either sweeping/hoovering or carrying items on a tray but I would really appreciate any input as to what problems I could consider that I can then think about a design solution for.

Currently, I am focussing on ideas/solutions for the kitchen but I'm not constrained to this, it could be any room in the house.

This is personally a very meaningful project to me and I want to extend my thanks in advance for any feedback and responses to my post.

Thank you so very much for your help and taking the time to read me.

Hi @Xelatats, welcome to the community. That sounds like a really interesting project. I'll move your post over to our Aids and Adaptations boards where more members can find it and offer their thoughts

Hi Alex, have you tried carrying out those tasks with one arm in a sling to give yourself an idea of the difficulties involved?

I'd recommend focusing on the obstacles you face when restricted like this to discover how to make any task easier.
