AB  - According to National Institute of Aging, one-third of people over the age of 65 fall every
year. Eighty percent of those falls happen in the bathroom. The objective of this project is to
design and build a mobile commode with lift assist seat to help the elderly stand after going to
the bathroom. The mobile commode with lift assist seat is designed to be used as a bedside
commode and can adapt to be used with regular bathroom toilets. It also includes an independent
vertical and tilt control for adjusting sitting height and standing independently. This project will
help eliminate falls in the bathroom which could result in over 13 million people having to move
to nursing homes for living assistance or require extra living assistance.
