I have an assignment where I have to design a product for a specific demographic?

Question

The product must either help my chosen demographic grow, heal, cope with normal life, or perform a task with a newfound efficiency and ease.

I am having trouble choosing a demographic. In previous years people have designed mostly for the arthritic and elderly. If you or someone you know has any problems that you think a simple design could solve, then please answer below.

Keep in mind that I cannot design something too complicated as I also need to make a working prototype.

Answer 1

You also have - short (midget /dwarfism)

- vision impaired (short / long sight, cataracts)

- hearing impaired (deafness to varying degrees)

And the "new" impairment- the obese.
