Project Summary

Our team of four had to design a method to allow our client to easily maintain a colostomy bag since his current process was time consuming, inflamed the joints in his hands due to rheumatoid arthritis, and irritated his skin as a result of leakage from the ostomy bag.

By conducting research and moving through an iterative design process, our team came up with a multifaceted solution to address the client's many needs while simplifying the bag-changing process.
