Healthcare Sensory Unit

We designed and developed a portable sensory unit for the NHS, which can be wheeled to the patient, thereby saving money on expensive sensory rooms. The unit (SMART CART) was the brainchild of Kath Smith, an occupational therapist who asked us to develop the concept.

The sensory unit can be closed up when not in use. The rounded edges ensure it is safe for patients to use.
