The above video shows a short scene of my grandma preparing a meal. I have observed that she constantly "travels" between the chopping board, basin,stove and refrigerator. This is very tiring and tough for seniors like her.
Although the picture above is not clear, my grandma is actually trying to reach for the frozen meat in the refrigerator. I noticed she had trouble trying to get the frozen meat as she has to strain her arms to get it.
It is equally difficult for seniors to bend down to get vegetables from the refrigerator.

As for the re
frigerator part, I proposed that the refrigerator uses sliding trays with bearings. The bearings is to allow the seniors to get frozen food without using much strength and thus they do not need to strain.The slid
ing tray would first be pulled horizontally.
Then slide down diagonally for the seniors to reach the food.
Good job! I like the idea of the sliding trays which the elderly slides the tray horizontally and then slide it diagonally to take the food. However, do consider the weight of the food that it can hold and if the elderly has the strength to support a large amount of weight.
