Saathi is a self-mobility device designed for individuals, particularly children, with lower limb disabilities. On-ground research at education foundations revealed the daily struggles of users who often move by dragging their bodies, leading to hygiene issues and constant dependence. The project’s goal was to restore independence and dignity through a device that prevents floor contact and reduces physical strain. Through interviews and continuous testing, the design evolved to prioritize ease of movement, safety, and comfort within classrooms and washrooms. A working prototype was refined based on user feedback, focusing on cost-effective manufacturability and intuitive usability. Saathi is more than a product; it is an empathetic response to long-ignored mobility challenges. It empowers users to participate confidently in everyday life and move freely in familiar spaces. Ultimately, the project reflects a hands-on design approach that prioritizes social inclusion and personal empowerment for a historically underserved population, putting human dignity at the center.
