Noble walking stick / Kayren Kiung Zixin ... [et al.]

Noble Walking Stick is a modification of an existing crutch stool which functions as a walking stick, a stool, and a shopping trolley. It comes with an alarm device which flashes warning light when triggered in an event of emergency. Users can activate the alarm to spread loud sound to ask for attention and help. Moreover, it comes with wheels to serve as a shopping trolley. For safety reasons, a safety reflective sticker is used to help the user to be always seen easily. The targeted customers for the Noble Walking Stick are the elderly. A United Nations report (2020) states that by 2050, the number of older people in the world will exceed the number of young for the first time in history. Malaysia’s Healthcare National Key Economic Area estimated that Malaysia will reach ageing nation status in just 10 years, with more than 15% of the population being aged 60 and over (Yusof, 2019).
