Adaptive Eating Aid Project and Report
Project Timeline
Apr 2024 - Jun-2025
OVERVIEW
This project focused on designing an assistive dining device to help individuals with essential tremors eat independently. The goal was to create a practical, low-cost solution that improved daily usability and confidence while applying structured engineering design methods to a real-world biomedical challenge.
HighlightS
- Researched five patents to identify gaps in tremor-suppression device design.
- Built HOQ and Pugh Matrix to translate user needs into measurable specs.
- Modeled and refined the “EasyEater” device in SolidWorks through iterative testing.
- Planned manufacturability (CNC, molding) and DVP&R testing for FDA compliance.
