Details of Neater Powered DrinkerJust published on our website: a couple of essays outlining the development of the Neater Uni-Chair:
"From prototype to
manufacture" - by researcher Dr Anne Mandy "The Neater Uni-Chair - an engineer's perspective"
Some people have asked us for some backgound to Neater Solutions - so here is a page:
Backgound and History of Neater SolutionsTilly is a lively 10-year-old with spinal muscular atrophy. She recently reported on her blog:
"We went straight from swimming into Hanley shopping centre where we enjoyed a jacket-potato lunch which was made all the more delicious with Tilly using her amazing arm support. We then signed in at M&S to help with a Caudwell Children bag pack in their food hall. This is always such a pleasure as the cashiers are so friendly and the customers are so grateful to be helped and so generous with their donations. Once again, this experience was all the more delightful because Tilly used her arm support and was able to help pack the bags. I’m sure that between us we made a veritable fortune for Caudwell Children judging by the weight of the collection tins."
Link to: Tilly's blogNeater Uni-Chair was launched at Naidex 2009. It is a manual
wheelchair developed for people with hemiplegia caused by a stroke. Research
and development work was carried out in conjunction with the Univeristy of
Brighton.
We recived the following by email form Quotec who administer
the NHS grant that part funded the Uni-Chair's development:
"I am very
pleased to let you know that the Committee was very impressed with your project
and have agreed a score of 10. Specifically, they were very impressed with your
team's commitment to ensuring the optimum device was produced and how popular
it has become with users in care homes, and how you have continued to make
improvements based on their feedback. "

The charity Age Concern have highlighted the serious health risks to elderly patients who are often not given proper assistance in hospital when eating. Age Concern says: "Hard-hitting statistics show that six out of ten older patients are at risk of becoming malnourished or their situation getting worse while in hospital."
Jon Michaelis, Managing Director of Neater Solutions said:
"Another report shows the importance of proper nutrition to people's health. Therapists often report to us that their clients are at risk of becoming malnourished if they lose independence in eating. People often lose interest in eating if they cannot feed themsleves. In many cases, the equipment we provide - from Dignity Ware to Neater Eaters, can be a significant help in tackling this problem.
