I love to write about it
![Coat assistant](/img/coatassistant.JPEG)

Assistive technologies are essential for improving the lives of people with disabilities, especially those with progressive conditions like ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). ALS affects movement and independence, making everyday tasks more challenging for individuals and their families. This thesis explores the development and potential for small-scale production of such devices, focusing on the coat assistant created by the Kuiken family for their son, Sebastiaan, who could no longer go outside on his own because he was not able to put on his coat independently.

The coat assistant represents the growing trend of personalized assistive devices. With its motorized frame, magnetic attachments, and floor controls, the device allowed Sebastiaan to put on his coat without assistance, restoring his independence and autonomy. While the device has proven effective for Sebastiaan, challenges arise in bringing such personalized solutions to a broader audience. Regulatory barriers, high production costs and small target groups complicate the commercialization of these types of devices.

The Kuiken family initially attempted to bring the coat assistant to market but encountered difficulties due to regulations, the lack of design drawings, and the limited target audience. Undeterred, they reached out to Ability Tech, a company specializing in assistive devices. This thesis is done at Ability Tech and aims to explore ways to make such devices more widely available through small-scale production in FabLabs, which are maker spaces with digital tools for creating physical objects. It also looks at how the coat assistant can be adapted for different users and conditions.

This project is dedicated to Sebastiaan, whose life and struggle with ALS inspired the development of this device. Unfortunately he passed away during this project but the goal is to share his legacy. This is done by creating an accessible and scalable coat assistant that helps others with similar challenges.

# Parts list
The coat assistant was originally built at home without keeping a detailed list of the parts used. To address this, a parts list was made based on the design of the coat assistant. This list provides a clear overview of all the parts used in the coat assistant. With this list the coat assistant becomes more reproducible since people are now able to identify and purchase the parts needed to build their own. To improve the accessibility, the list includes links to manufacturers, costs and technical details. The complete list is found in Appendix 1 with an explanation of the list in Appendix 2.

The coat assistant has a lot of different parts ranging from the aluminium frame to a small bolt. To create a better understanding of which part executes which function, five main components have been identified. The coat assistant is split into the neck clamp, sleeve clamp, frame, lift and footrest.

In the parts list the cost of the individual parts can be found. The total price of the parts for the coat assistant is estimated around 1100 euros, this excludes the man hours of building the coat assistant. Making the list took around two days and is an essential part in making the coat assistant accessible. It not only improves understanding of each part's role but also simplifies troubleshooting and maintenance.

You can find the parts list by clicking below!

I have started with setting up the website for the documentation! This will take a lot of time to learn everything and set it up correctly!

I included the **parts list** for the coat assistant in the documentation. With this list you are able to identify and purchase parts necessary to make your own coat assistant.

Hey I love building things but my tools are missing. **Do you know where they are?**
