If Only Project - Aid for the Elderly

'Your solution has to be a product in its own right, it can be a tool or add-on but you can also look at completely re-designing an already existing product that does not work within the problem area you have identified.
A key aspect of the inclusive design approach is to expand the target group of a product or service to include as many users as possible, without compromising the business goals of profit and customer satisfaction.'

I was part of a small group for this second year project. We chose to design a product that assists elderly people with moving objects around their home. It uses a counterweight mechanism to make the table top feel weightless allowing the user to lift normally heavy objects with ease.
