Project Description:
Our team was tasked with designing a purely mechanical sit-to-stand (STS) assistive device for the elderly. The current market lacks a product that can be easily adapted for use with all types of furniture (sofa, bed, and toilet, to name a few). In order to tackle this issue, we focused our efforts on designing a product that is height-adjustable and collapsible. A final footprint that is compact allows it to be transported from room to room with ease. Our mission is to enable our end users to stand up independently for as long as possible. From here on out, it’s Up We Go.
