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

当我的继父患有痴呆症和中风时，我看到并经历了更换失禁垫的挑战和问题。我想一定有什么援助。当更换失禁护垫的时候，尤其是当病人患有痴呆症，无法举起和举起衣服的时候，我亲眼目睹了衣服的问题，看到我母亲挣扎着帮助他。我想一定会有一些援助，我搜索了很多地方，但是没有任何援助。这款助听器的潜在好处包括：*它能帮助医护人员更有效地履行某些职责。*高效和节省时间*提高了病人和护理人员的安全性*可以给病人更大的独立性*可以给病人一种尊严感所以这促使我设计和开发服装援助。该项目的目标是采用援助的设计和基本原型，并开发功能和耐用的各种尺寸的男女工作原型。然后，这些原型将由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.
