E-walker

The problem of the aging population in Hong Kong is gradually getting worse. The number of elderly living alone is increasing. The elderly will encounter various difficulties in daily life. As their physical conditions are gradually deteriorating, the elderly need to walk the stairs carefully and have difficulties bending over, etc. Therefore, our target users are the elderly who cannot take the heavy things, need to cook, and live alone. It enhances the self-care ability of the elderly so that they can live easily and have the ability to take care of themselves.

There are five main concepts-5E, “Easy to walk”, “Easy to carry”, “Easy to use”, “Easy to storage” and “Easy to walk up and downstairs”. It is a multifunctional foldable trolley. It is equipped with a 360-degree rotating handle for users to adjust which can conveniently push trolleys and hang heavy stuff. The chair can solve the exhaustion of standing and walk for a long time. The rotating three-wheel design helps the elderly push heavy things easily when they walk up and downstairs. The foldable trolley and its foldable parts such as storage boxes, cover, and seats can help the elderly store them. Also, it has two modes: First of all, in "Outing Mode" it becomes a trolley that can walk stairs, which can be stored and rest. There are stop and lift buttons on the trolley to help the elderly use the product. Secondly, in "home mode" the product is equipped with a seat that can be reliably on the chair when they cook, reducing the pressure from standing for a long time; and the storage box can be raised and lowered to decrease the frequency of bending.
