Libue - Toilet for Parkinson’s patients
Libue helps impaired users to redeem their dignity and alleviates responsibilities of family members
Conventional way of using the toilet poses difficulty for people with restricted mobility. Conventional toilets require users to turn around and approach the seat backward. This trivial process becomes a burden for elderlies and especially Parkinson’s patients with tremor.
Libue is designed to replace household toilets, being safe and comfortable for both patients and family members. Libue allows the user to sit on the toilet directly in a position similar to that of riding a horse. The toilet can revert to a conventional system in less than 30 seconds, so other family members can use it comfortably as well.
