P14006 Problem Statement
• Bathtub lift – a device that provides assistance to an individual with physical disabilities, including limited balance, coordination, or mobility
• Can reduce the difficulties of raising and/or lowering an individual into the tub by utilizing a powered seat and a simple control module
• As population grows the number of aged individuals will greatly increase making demand for assist devices increase
• Project motivation – Theresa Loce
• Improve the current design
• Current device does not meet her needs
• Powered lift that is sturdy, comfortable, easy to use/clean, makes minimal noise, and takes into account physical limitations of user
• Ultimate goal – user maintains autonomy and privacy

Project Deliverables
• Effectively assist the user for bathing purposes
• Device is easy to access from starting position
• Minimized operating time
• Provide a comfortable and supportive seating area
• Accessible to 10th-70th percentile for both genders, regardless of age
• Reasonably lightweight and portable, able to be transported

Use Scenarios
• Bathtub lifts are effective for many worst case scenarios for the disabled and elderly people. However one critical issue remains, ease of access to the bathtub lift.
• Due to individuals’ mobility disabilities, they often have a hard time being able to position themselves on the seat of the lift.
• Issues such as slipping or periods of instability may occur to the individual needing to get in the actual tub before lowering the lift.
• Individuals’ confidence are decreased due to uneasy feelings of being able to access the bathtub lift.

Risk Assessment
• Ensure user does not fall/slip off device
• Moderate the water temperature
• Water power supply inconsistent – psi level jump due to drop in water pressure
• Electric power supply inconsistent – charge from battery may not be sufficient to operate device when running low
• Device does not fail under loading – must be able to lift well over the minimum requirement
• Not being able to fulfill requirements of broad user base (height/weight differences)
• Fixture dimensions – not able to fit in tub
• Safety of user’s legs – when fixture is lowering, allow adequate clearance, and also while moving user out of tub.
• Transfer from starting position to the device – possible falling injury

Phase I - Retrospective
• Things we have learned as a team:
• Understanding each others’ strengths and weaknesses.
• Assigning roles according to ones’ strengths.
• Proper communication to minimize wasted time.
• Planning ahead of time to effectively utilize given time the whole team is available.
• Take project one step at a time, do not overlook detail that is critical to the customer.
• Understand each others’ ideas and as a team choose the best ones to ensure best results.
