Rethinking the design of the watering can to make it more inclusive to the elderly user.
Rethinking the design of the watering can to make it more inclusive to the elderly user.
After interviews with 4 elderly users, watering cans were found to be a common source of physical stress and mental frustration. A journey map was generated based on user input and found that the carrying of the watering can was the most uncomfortable aspect - a clear opportunity for improvement. Based on iterative prototyping informed by user feedback, the Easy-Can proposes a unique solution to this issue by allowing the user to pull the can along with them.
