Shower product design for elderly users

What it does

An age-appropriate shower designed for the elderly

Your inspiration

Showering is one of everyone's daily behaviors and is extremely important in life, but for the elderly, it is full of dangers. Scientific research data show that the older the elderly, the more likely they are to fall and be injured in the bathroom, and the higher the accident rate; This situation can easily lead to serious physical damage to the elderly, and it is very easy for the health of the elderly to deteriorate rapidly. Nowadays, most of the products on the market are based on the design ideas of standard adults

How it works

(1) Water-saving-support dual-function integrated system On the basis of a large number of research and experiments, high-quality high-strength composite materials are selected, and the optimal strength design scheme is obtained through analysis, and the process of the barrel material is improved, so as to ensure that the barrel can withstand 200 kg of impact load under the condition of ensuring the lightest weight of the barrel. The upper part of the barrel is made in the shape of a wide-mouth funnel to ensure that most of the water is collected into the bucket during the shower. Ergonomic grip grooves on both sides of the barrel can be used to fix support in times of emergency, and can be reused after collection, which can be used for flushing toilets or watering flowers.

Design process

The seat back is refined, and the look and texture of the product are further strengthened through structural transition and detail processing; And the integrated design is used to integrate the shower system with the main structure, enhance the overall sense and visual volume of the product, and make the texture of the product stronger and the use experience better through the polishing of details; Deepen product design, pay more attention to some detailed design in the external aspect, such as the use of material contrast and styling level changes to increase the expressiveness of the product and enhance the possibility of product diversity. In addition, the top shower is added to provide a more comfortable, convenient and free bathing environment for the elderly; The shape of the bucket has also been finely retouched, and the simple and bright lines are used to express the modernity and high quality of the product, making it more suitable for the design positioning and user needs of the mid-end market

How it is different

Starting from the special needs of elderly users, this topic takes shower products as the design object, analyzes the key functions of age-appropriate shower products for the elderly group over 65 years old, as well as the application of water-saving system and safety monitoring system in bathroom products, these advanced technologies provide strong support for the development of intelligent shower systems, so as to continuously improve product functions, reduce the burden of bathing for the elderly, and improve bathing safety and comfort.

Future plans

In the theoretical research and design research stage of the subject, through a large number of literature retrieval and field investigation, the relevant theories about aging bathroom products were obtained. Through the systematic observation and measurement of the behavior of the elderly shower, the important physiological data such as the characteristics of the body perception system, the nervous system and the characteristics of the motor system of the elderly were obtained, and from the beginning of the demand research
