Problem Statement

This project focuses on designing a pedicure device specifically for individuals who struggle with bending down to cut their toenails. While many people may not give this task a second thought, for some, it is a daily challenge. The goal is to create a device that allows users to safely and comfortably cut their toenails without needing to bend down or visit a nail salon, saving them time, effort, and money. This innovative design will cater to those with physical limitations, enabling them to maintain their nail care independently.
