Project background / Contexte du projet
When going on outings, a person in a wheelchair needs to think about different things to prepare then someone who is not. Since it sometimes happens that this Client has accidents and needs a change of clothes and also needs help to get changed, a caregiver will go into a washroom with him to help. However this is very difficult since change tables in public washrooms are not strong enough to support his weight and are often too high it is not possible to use them and he must be changed on the floor. Your task is to make it easier for him to be changed in a public washroom so it is more comfortable for him as well for his caregivers.

The ideal product would be light weight, easy to fold/transport, be at height so caregivers don't have to get onto the floor to change him.

Sample of a permanently installed high low change table:

Some modification to this already available camping cot (any brand) could also be done: (ideally lighter weight, and higher off the ground)

or something that folds away like a camping chair:

Past attempts / Tentatives précédentes
There has been a previous group who worked on the project however they could not complete a final prototype due to COVID. A few additional teams have tried and A7 made a good proof of concept however the product is too bulky and not easily transportable.
