Description

SuPot aims to empower people with hand impairments to express their support for their loved ones through cooking.

People with hand disabilities are influenced greatly in various daily activities, such as dressing alone and engaging in cooking tasks. Being limited by the use of only one hand may also have an impact on their self-esteem due to the biopsychosocial approach and social exclusion, despite their ability to manage many of their daily tasks independently. Thus, cooking, which could be a solution for them to face the challenge and support their family by themselves, can serve as an alternative platform for proposing design utensils that support them in developing their self-esteem. Since carrying heavy utensils and processing ingredients systematically with one hand would be a significant challenge in Asian cooking, pot and chopping board designs could be enhanced to create a better cooking environment for hand impairments.
