                          0
                          Initially we designed a wearable device with forearm support, serving as a universal tool for multiple tasks.  
                          Drawbacks
                          • Discomfort for the user 
                          • Excessive dependency on others
                          • User negative feedback
                          These challenges led us to refine our design for better functionality and independence.

                                    This prototype failed due to incorrect bends and incomplete, improper fillings. These design flaws led to functionality issues and an inadequate fit. We recognized these shortcomings and were working to refine the design with accurate measurements and proper fillings.
