What is the problem you found?

The recent COVID-19 Pandemic has resulted in many students and workers isolating at home. This, consequentially, has meant that online workers and learners are being exposed to extended periods of time on their computers and an array of problems have arisen such as: bad posture, degrading eyesight, constant hand cramping and disorganisation.

What is your opportunity?

How might we help people deal with back, eye and hand strains as well as keep to a routine during online work?

Who is your audience?

Our target audience are people of all ages who are working or learning online for any amount of time. Our product is marketed towards larger companies with many employees and school environments.

What Is Your Solution?

Our product, the Quarantine Quad, targets all the above areas of discomfort, providing a cheap and convenient bundle of goods all selected to effectively increase user comfort. This product entails a posture (back/spine) supporter, a blue light filter screen for your computer, a hand TheraBand, a calendar and a factsheet about staying safe from Corona Virus as well as information about our website. To be ethical towards our environment our products packaging is biodegradable and our calendar and factsheet are recyclable.
