Developing assistive technology as a consumer product enhances user appeal and functionality. Combining user-centered design for assistive tech and consumer products yields innovative egg cracker ideas for stroke survivors.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Product Design

Background:

  • Assistive technologies (AT) often lack user appeal.
  • Consumer product development prioritizes aesthetics and marketability.
  • Stroke survivors require specialized tools for daily living.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore user-centered design for assistive technology.
  • To compare AT development with consumer product development.
  • To identify innovative design strategies by integrating both processes.

Main Methods:

  • Case study analysis of an egg cracker development project.
  • Comparative examination of AT and consumer product design methodologies.
  • User-centered design principles applied to assistive device innovation.
