Portable Chair for Child Delivery in Ghana
User Outreach - Design - Prototyping - Usability Testing
The purpose of this design project was to create a prototype to a high enough fidelity to test out key product features using usability tests. My team wanted to understand how intuitive the design was for the correct placement, set-up, and use of a portable chair that can convert flat hospital beds into adjustable child delivery chairs when there are not enough actual delivery chairs to support laboring mothers.
