The Idea
It all started with a collaboration with the OT students Tamar, Kijai, Matt, and Elisa. We were thinking of a project to help people with quadriplegia to write and shower independently.
The Requirements
Work transdisciplinary with students from OT. Create two solutions or one project helping both user personas.
The Prototype
The first idea of ergonomics and shape. Dimensions were accurate and considering the tenodesis grip to make it more functional.
