JDP Award–Winning Work
ONE - dressing aid
What if putting on a jacket became a daily challenge? For people with one-sided impairments -after a stroke or amputation -this is reality. ONE is a dressing aid that makes putting on jackets easy and independent. An extendable clip system holds the jacket in place. It can be pulled on like a bag and zipped up with one hand. Pocket-sized, ONE is always ready to help: at home or on the go. ONE combines function with style, promoting independence, dignity, and inclusion. A small helper. A big impact.
