Get a Grip!
A line of products enabling the elderly and disabled to perform daily activities more smoothly
A set of products to make daily tasks easier for 50-70 year olds with dexterity-related impairments, positioned to challenge the stigma surrounding disabilities.This project aims to empower users living with conditions such as arthritis, helping them perform everyday tasks and improving their independence. ‘Get a Grip!’ is a home hub containing three devices, that help with the following tasks:
- Assisting with squeezing bottles e.g. shampoo bottles.
- Converting a top button into an easier side-squeeze e.g. spraying deodorant.
- Opening packaging easily, even when out and about e.g. food packaging.
