| Abstract: |
| Arthritis causes inflammation and pain in various parts of the body. Crochet lovers with arthritis are unable to practice it properly. The hand tool will aid people to crochet easily by relieving pain |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| There is no existing tool which specifically caters to people with arthritis AND love to crochet. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| All those who love to crochet, even if they do not have arthritis, since long sessions of crochet can cause pain in hands, carpel tunnel, and arthritis. |
| How will the solution works |
| The tool is shaped in the form of a glove, covering those parts and fingers only which are affected more. The glove provides stability to the hand while also keeping it warm. It is also equipped with electric pulses which will be apllied to specific pressure points on hands to help relieve pain. A fingercuff on the left index finger provides tension for yarn to be held. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Thumb stabilizers to help arthritis hands. Thermal gloves for arthritis hands. Ergonomic crochet hooks. |
