Autonhome
End-of-studies work in connection with my master thesis « Combining well-being and aging during moving within the house »
Autonome is an item aimed at dependent seniors in the GIR4 category. So, elderly people who are still active in their home but who require a walking aid in order to relieve and / or overcome common disorders and diseases such as osteoarthritis (of the spine, cervical, thumb,…), low back pain, muscle wasting, dorsal hypercyphosis, tremors, heavy legs…
It help you to move around easily at home and is designed to easily carry everyday objects : a cup of tea / coffee, glass of water, plate filled with food, clothes, books, magnifying glass, glasses, phone … Its design is elegant and human in order to make its user want to use it and not be embarrassed to show off when receiving guests. Many seniors "strain" their muscles / joints out of pride and not to have to use this type of object whose image they convey is often very medical, not very rewarding and very aging. Autonhome is designed to look like a kitchen cart and blend in with the decor.
