About the solution
Portable bidets on the market are designed for people who have with a significant range of motion in two arms. The designs include short and limited water reservoir and usually, the portable bidets are underpowered. During the 2019 MIT Assistive Technology Hackathon, a team developed a portable bidet pairing with a person with disabilities.
The team aimed at creating a design that would enable persons with disabilities to use the toilet at work, at school, while on vacation, or anywhere there is not a bidet already attached to a toilet.
Conducting an analysis of the social implications of not having a functional portable bidet, the team found out that it affects personal and professional relationships, as well as individual self-esteem.
The materials used for the portable bidet design are:
- Bidet with 9’’ nozzle
- Quiet aquarium motor
- 7/16 food-safe tubing
- 32 oz. water bottle
- Adhesive sealant
- 16mm Panel Mount Momentary Pushbutton
- 8 holder battery pack
- 8AA batteries
