Elderly Challenge - Observation 1
































Elderly taking their pets for walks is a common sight.
During walks, pets are likely to do their business among the plants or even on pavements. The elderly would then have to clean up after them. This task is difficult for some seniors who have problems bending down. At the same time, they would have to keep an eye on their pet to make sure that they don't run off, which makes the task doubly difficult. This is one of the challenges the elderly faces.




As such, I decided to work on designing a product which helps the seniors to pick up pets' wastes easily .
I started off designing a product which can be made from "normal" materials, without any use of technological machinery. The picture is a rough description of the product I have in mind.


The main aim of the product is to help the seniors to clean up after their pets easily and at the same time, make sure that their pets are safe with them.
