Patient's Friend
A bedside table designed for and not to patients
The patient's friend is a bedside table designed for the elderly and/or people with walking difficulties mainly for the hospital environment or retirement home. It's a two-faced bedside table, equipped with wheels. The table has an integrated over-bed table, a drawer for precious objects, a drawer for non-precious objects and an open form for objects that are used often/daily. The modules can be rotated 360 ° thanks to the insertion of ball bearings between one module and another. This mechanism allows the user to reach and take objects more easily. The goal of the project is to improve the accessibility and use of spaces for people with different sensory deficiencies: visual, motor or cognitive deficiencies, and to help create a pleasant environment conducive to the well-being and health of patients and healthcare professionals.
