Oston Technology – Smart Retrofit Toilet Kit
Founders: Mr. Sayar Singh and Mr. Kumar Kalika
With focus to help and ease the life of 55 Lakh Divyangjan (in-mobility) and 14 Cr osteoarthritis patients in India we have developed the accessible toilet kit. In the context of Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan we are working towards making India 100% ODF. The accessible toilet to the 55 Lakh Divyangjan(in-mobility) and 14 Cr osteoarthritis patients remains India 100% ODF.
Problem addressed:
More than 55 lakhs physically challenged (in-movement) and 14cr osteoarthritis patient in India go through a painful experience in using a toilet. The current installed Indian style toilet in homes and public spaces are not accessible and convenient for physically challenged, and osteoarthritis patients. The lack of accessible toilet in community and public spaces makes their live more difficult as they can’t use toilet during commute.
Smart Retrofit Toilet Kit
Smart retrofit toilet kit is a wall mounted commode system that transforms existing toilets into accessible friendly toilet. The retrofit kit will be mounted to the wall of the existing toilet and can be flipped to use the toilet. The toilet is designed to personalize the toilet commode providing convenient and safety as per the medical condition of the user. It has been designed very simple for use and robust for low maintenance.
