Description of product:
It is pink, having a circular tip, with a curve inwards to separate the 2 sticks further at the top. It is made of plastic, and its function is of a chopstick, except the 2 sticks are attached with a circular tip. The two sticks are not totally parallel, but are moving inwards. To use that chopstick, we hold it just like a normal pair of chopsticks, but it can give the Elderly a better grip.
What are the design considerations when designing this product?
-If the Elderly needs to use this product.
-If it is more efficient and easier for the Elderly to use.
-If there are any parts of the product that might injure the Elderly, like sharp edges.
Would an elderly faced difficulty using this product? If yes, what are the difficulties that the elderly would face?
-An Elderly might face difficulty, if they have a weak grip problem. The Elderly might need to use force to use the chopsticks, and might not be able to use it properly.
What do you think can be done to improve on the design of the product to suit the elderly?
The reason why Elderly need to use too much force in using this product is that they are using it at the wrong position. The higher they use it, the more force needed. My improvement is to make the chopstick length adjustable to the preference of the Elderly.
