The problem that innovation answers
Difficulties associated with taking a bath or shower in spatial conditions unsuitable for people with disabilities.
How does innovation work?
A mobile shower (easy to carry) for use in a room, to allow people able to assume a stable sitting position to wash themselves, who for various reasons (e.g. architectural barriers) are unable to take a safe bath in the existing conditions. Bathing takes place in the space of the shower screen, from which water can be disposed of in two ways: by pumping out or pouring water into appropriate pouches.
