Research & Development


Problem

Small bathroom - has no separated area between wet zone and dry zone. Not only in Thailand but also in Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and Southeast Asia countries.


Research

Each year 1/3 of Thai elders have slip and fall accident. Half of them have slip and fall accident more than once a year.



From the statistics, The indoor fall accidents occur frequently especially in the bathroom.
After the fall accident, 40% has a broken hip and 20% suffers from a serious injury to death.


Competitor Analysis - Positioning Map

According to the market survey, there are none of the elderly bath chairs which have a small size and can divide into both wet zones and dry zones within the same ones. Therefore allowing us to see that gap of this product and became Duo Seat.

Interview with Users

After the interviews with elderly people and the consults with the doctor at Chulalongkorn Hospital, I concluded the requirements (which are daily use, easy-to-access and harmony) for this project before designing it.
