Design Challenge

Design a rollator that can fit through narrow hallways and spaces. A rollator that is easy to maneuver and light-weight. One that can fit in any situation where space is limited.

Market Analysis

User Interviews

Through Zoom, a series of interviews were conducted of seniors who use a rollator on a daily basis.

Key Takeaways

Rollator owners want:

Something that looks good.
Has storage for personal items.
Can fold for easy storage.

Individual Interview

“ I’ve had a couple of falls without my rollator and now need my rollator to get up and go to the bathroom, but it is hard to maneuver around my small room.”

“ I use my rollator to go to church. I struggle to move it around the pew’s and eventually I have to leave it to be able to get through and sit.”

Framework

Independence

The feeling of being able to accomplish what the owner wants to accomplish without any roadblocks or help from anyone.

Comfortable

The owner of this rollator will be able to use this product with ease.

Attractive

This rollator will be pleasing to the eye and will make the owner proud to use it and show it off on a daily basis.

Ideation

Ideation Pt. 2

After the review I went back to the drawing board and started
to redesign the rollator.

The biggest challenge I faced was engineering the rollator to have an adjustable width without adjusting the height.
