✦ Synopsis


Information obtained from the elderly and from design-related criteria was used to develop a product which could assist them in accomplishing a difficult activity independently. Interviews and questionnaires were conducted with independently living elderly in order to identify which daily activities at home were difficult for them to accomplish. Carrying groceries was chosen as the focus for a design. Secondary interviews were conducted to obtain detailed information about how the elderly accomplish grocery shopping. This information was used to design an assist cart specifically for their needs.
