Utilitarian seat/storage device for home health visits
Project Overview
Home health visits can be challenging for a variety of reasons including the amount of supplies neeed to be carried along as well as where to place and how to handle the equipment. Additionally, many homes do not have sufficient seating or surfaces necessary for the care giver to work properly. A portable seat and storage device would help minimize these problems and lead to an overall improvement of the quality of the home health visit.
