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.
