Having seen and experienced the challenges and issues when changing an incontinence pad of my step father who suffered from dementia and stroke. I thought there must be some sort of aid. This first hand experience of the issue of clothing getting in the way when changing a patient's incontinence pad particularly when they suffer from dementia and are unable to lift and hold up the clothing, and seeing my mother struggle to help him. I thought there has to be some sort of aid, I searched extensively but there is not an aid.The aid's potential benefits include:* That assists a health professional to carry out certain duties far more effectively.* Efficient and time saving* That improves the safety of both patient and carer* That can give a patient greater independence* That can give a patient a sense of dignitySo this led me to design and develop the Apparel Aid. The project's objective is to take the design and basic prototype of the aid, and develop working prototypes that are functional and durable in a variety of sizes for both female and male. These prototypes will then be assessed by a Health and Social Care establishment.

我亲眼目睹并经历过为患有痴呆症和中风的继父更换失禁垫时遇到的挑战和问题。我想一定有某种援助。这是在给病人更换失禁垫时衣服妨碍问题的第一手经验，特别是当他们患有痴呆症并且无法举起和举起衣服时，并看到我的母亲努力帮助他。我认为必须有某种援助，我进行了广泛的搜索，但没有援助。该援助的潜在好处包括：* 帮助卫生专业人员更有效地履行某些职责。* 高效且节省时间* 这可以改善患者和护理人员的安全* 这可以给患者更大的独立性* 这可以给患者一种尊严感所以这促使我设计和开发服装援助。该项目的目标是采用辅助工具的设计和基本原型，并开发出功能齐全、耐用、适合女性和男性的各种尺寸的工作原型。然后，这些原型将由健康和社会关怀机构进行评估。
