The development and assesment of an innovative Health and Medical Aid.

看到并经历了为患有痴呆症和中风的继父更换尿失禁垫时的挑战和问题。我想一定有什么帮助。在给病人换尿垫时，尤其是当他们患有痴呆症，无法抬起和拿起衣服的时候，我亲身经历了衣服挡路的问题，看到我的母亲努力帮助他。我想一定会有某种帮助，我广泛地搜索了，但没有帮助。帮助的潜在好处包括：*帮助健康专业人员更有效地执行某些职责。*高效和节省时间*提高了患者和护理人员的安全性*可以给患者更大的独立性*可以给患者一种尊严的感觉。因此，我设计并开发了服装辅助。该项目的目标是采用援助的设计和基本原型，并为女性和男性开发各种尺寸的实用和耐用的工作原型。这些原型随后将由一家卫生和社会保健机构进行评估。

Having seen and experienced the challenges and issues when changing an incontinence pad of my step father who suffered from dementia and stroke. I thought there must be some sort of aid. This first hand experience of the issue of clothing getting in the way when changing a patient's incontinence pad particularly when they suffer from dementia and are unable to lift and hold up the clothing, and seeing my mother struggle to help him. I thought there has to be some sort of aid, I searched extensively but there is not an aid.The aid's potential benefits include:* That assists a health professional to carry out certain duties far more effectively.* Efficient and time saving* That improves the safety of both patient and carer* That can give a patient greater independence* That can give a patient a sense of dignitySo this led me to design and develop the Apparel Aid. The project's objective is to take the design and basic prototype of the aid, and develop working prototypes that are functional and durable in a variety of sizes for both female and male. These prototypes will then be assessed by a Health and Social Care establishment.
