Subject: Designing for arthritis - help please!
Hello everyone! I am looking for input on how household tools could be easier to use for those with arthritis. I am a fourth-year Industrial Design student at the University of Alberta, Canada, and I have been assigned a project on redesigning handheld objects; I have a grandmother with arthritis, and I want to design something that is easy for her to use - but she won't give me any suggestions. Does anyone have a suggestion as to an object that could use a good overhaul - scissors, kettles, or anything that someone without arthritis might not think of? Or - are there some inventions that could be made prettier? Any suggestions are appreciated - thank you very much!
