Easy Drink Cup to Push Water
The challenge
Current drinking tools require physical effort, precise positioning, and assistance, leading to spills, and reduced independence. There is a need for solutions that reduce effort while improving control, stability, and dignity in everyday hydration.
Who it helps
People with limited facial or motor control who experience difficulty drinking independently, including individuals with neuromuscular conditions, as well as caregivers who support their daily hydration.
How it works
It reduces physical effort and the need for precise positioning by stabilizing the straw, improving grip and base stability, and enabling more controlled interaction, supporting safer, more comfortable, and more independent drinking experiences.
A modular drinking system and concept that rethinks how people access liquids by improving straw positioning, cup stability, and interaction, while also exploring assisted mechanisms for easier fluid intake.
