uHandle
Low cost hand cutlery adapter to give independence and dignity for people with hand deformities.
Millions of people around the globe cannot perform a basic action such as eating independently, due to malformations or nervous involvement in the hands. These people depend on the constant help of caregivers dedicated to feeding them. uHandle gives these patients part of their independence and dignity back by aiding them to recover the autonomy to feed themselves. The optimized design enables the use either a fork, a spoon or a knife, and thus be able to eat with total freedom without any kind of problem. The tool is created with 3D printing technology that makes it adaptable to different pathologies and sizes of the hands, and most importantly: thanks to its low manufacturing cost, the most disadvantaged people with very few resources can benefit. uHandle aims to provide a real change in the life of those people who are in need with non-profit goals.
