How can we help with the maintenance and disinfection of support products for people with disabilities? - open-source assistive technology prototype by the Medellín community

About this project

The purpose of this silicon and fabric coverage is used to protect the user from touching and contaminating their device with any virus or bacteria. During this pandemic, this device will serve as a barrier between the user's support implement, the user's body, and the assistance in order to prevent the contraction of coronavirus and other bacterias.

The challenge

People with disabilities have a high risk during the pandemic. It is harder for them to adapt to social distancing and might have urgent needs. This is why, we are looking to support them in this process through technology and engineering.

Who it helps

People with disabilities and their families
