Tableware for People With Special Needs

How I Serve

I search for emerging companies, technologies, disruptive technologies, innovations, start-ups and up-starts. I’ll look to match potential problems… e.g. “plastic pollution” to solutions… e.g. 3D Printer for recycled plastic waste…for potential venture capitalists, angel investors, and online funders. I’ll also highlight a variety of topics including funding success stories, the environment, housing, medical, artificial intelligence, science, aging populations, disabled populations, social entrepreneurs, philanthropy, and topical news. I’m always searching for great people innovating, inventing, and doing, great things.

I don’t endorse. Only disseminate.

Sha Design LLC

 

We were inspired by our family members who had Alzheimer’s. As caregivers ourselves, we know the job of caregiving is not a simple task. We designed and created Eatwell after years of research and development to help people with cognitive and motor impairments increase their food intake by making the process of eating as easy as possible. The Eatwell Assistive Tableware set has already helped thousands of families with motor and visual impairments enjoy their meal times together again.

Each Eatwell set is a unique combination of over 20 features, including:

1) High Contrast Colors that help users distinguish food from tableware and stimulate appetite

2) Specially Shaped Spoon Heads have been engineered to precisely match the curvatures of the bowl, ensuring efficient scooping

3) Slanted bottom bowls and cups naturally collect food and drinks on one side to promote repetition

4) Each piece in the set is equipped with anti-slip material to help prevent spills and dropped foods
