EATWELL
Dishes that work around cognitive decline
EATWELL is an assistive tableware set for people with special needs. It's universal, user-centric design can benefit those with cognitive (such as Alzheimer's and other dementias), motor (Parkinson's disease, various scleroses), and physical (injury, infirmity) impairments. After years of research and development, EATWELL won first place at the 2014 Stanford Design Challenge out of 52 teams in 15 countries.
There are over twenty unique features in every EATWELL set. Every design detail and decision can be traced back to a finding or discovery made during the four-year process. Among the design hacks: using bright colors to help people distinguish their plates from their food and putting wide rubber bases on the cups to prevent spills. The goal: to bring back the joy of sharing a meal together.
