Visual Brand Language study of the HONDA car brand
This trapezoid shape is common to the VBL of HONDA.
Pain points on current rollator is highlighted to the right.
Often users of rollators have issues using them to support standing and sitting. Their current form makes the rollator easy to tip and roll away. I have observed this issue first hand. This causes a user have hesitation and uncertainty that the tool will support them. The mechanism designed in this project allows the rollator to be firmly planted on the ground so the user is confident in using it to support their weight.
Form study of rollator handle functions and body shapes
Initial visualization of rollator function and 3D model/rendering
This animation explains the function behind this rollator.
The body of the rollator moves up so the wheels are free to move. When the body is down it sits on the floor so that it is in a locked position. This makes it easier for a user to have stability and confidence when using the rollator to stand/sit.
