There is a light dusting of snow and a thin layer of ice on the ground because it was warm the day before. You can barely keep yourself from falling let alone walk up the hill. That wing-flapping motion with your arms isn\u2019t helping. Now imagine that same scenario but this time in a wheelchair that is meant for traversing linoleum floors. If you thought you were getting nowhere walking, try spinning around for a while!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Task <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CRE[ATIVO]2 is part of the Design for Wellbeing initiative, and its main goal is to enhance the wellbeing of persons with disabilities by using their description of needs as a starting point for product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/?attachment_id=168\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"154\" height=\"158\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DfW-Creativo-project-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-168\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/?attachment_id=166\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"155\" height=\"156\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DfW-Creativo-project-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DfW-Creativo-project-4.png 155w, https:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DfW-Creativo-project-4-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 155px) 100vw, 155px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The team started out with only one set of keywords to frame the scope of the project: <strong><em>active, winter, leisure time.<\/em><\/strong> From these words the team started to focus on mobility devices.Through rigorous needs analysis and benchmarking of current solutions the group discovered the need for winter-adaptable manual wheelchairs.Thus, the mission statement for the CRE[ATIVO]2 project was formulated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To develop a safe mobility device that is easy to maneuver on varied terrains and in multiple weather conditions.The device should also improve user access to facilities and transportation, while being easily transportable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>International Cooperation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/?attachment_id=167\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"157\" height=\"156\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DfW-Creativo-project-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DfW-Creativo-project-5.png 157w, https:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DfW-Creativo-project-5-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 157px) 100vw, 157px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The work has been conducted in an iterative development process on a global scale.

This, together with the fact that the two universities have different theories of approaching product development, has allowed the team to apply the best of both worlds during their work.All participants were also exposed to technologies supporting collaborative design, providing crucial experiences in multinational teamwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/?attachment_id=163\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"157\" height=\"135\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designforwellbeing.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/DfW-Creativo-project-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Through numerous concept generations and evaluations, a light-weight composite wheelchair and a tire cleaning system was developed.

This allowed for the&nbsp;backrest to be adjustable in different positions, giving the user added comfort.Traction in winter was improved by the addition of clip-ons with a unique tread pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a wheel cleaning device was created to help the user to clean the chair before entering the house during late winter and early spring, when pavements are wet and dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team was comprised of many different feilds of study. These fields vary from Education to Mechanical Engineering. This diverse knowledge base is what in theory will help to create a product that serves the needs of the user.
