Design an ergonomic, all-in-one power assist dish scrubber that reduces physical strain and simplifies cookware cleaning for users with arthritis, fatigue, or limited grip strength while remaining useful for all.

REVYO

CONTEXT

Many types of cookware like cast iron, large pots, and nonstick pans must be hand-washed to avoid damage.

PROBLEM

Cleaning cookware that isn’t dishwasher-safe can be physically demanding, especially for those with joint pain or fatigue-related conditions.

Grip Strain

Manual scrubbing requires grip strength (challenging for those with arthritis or carpal tunnel).

Tedious Process

Dishwashing is often delayed due to its tedious, time consuming nature.

Not Dishwasher-Safe

Large pots, cast iron, and skillets are often hand washed to prevent damage.

HOW MIGHT WE

How might we design an ergonomic, all-in-one dish cleaning tool that reduces physical strain and simplifies cookware cleaning while remaining useful for all?

IMMERSION EXPERIENCE

I visited home kitchens, cafes, and a restaurant to understand cooking and dish-cleaning habits and how current tools meet or fail user needs.

HOME CONSUMERS:

“I ask my husband to finish washing the dishes when my grip is too weak.” -Amy

SHARED PATTERN ACROSS USERS:

Manual scrubbing is uncomfortable for users across generations. Many put off cleaning because it takes too long and want a faster and more comfortable solution.
