Luksh Uchil

I’m passionate about product design, with a focus on creating products that are both functional and impactful. I approach design as more than just problem solving; I see it as the interplay of form, material, and purpose. I enjoy exploring how design can enhance everyday experiences, making them more intuitive and meaningful. With each project, I’m learning how to better balance creativity with practicality, and I’m excited to continue developing my skills to craft designs that truly improve people’s lives.

Sustainability & Social Responsibility

With a focus on longevity and sustainability, the device utilizes recyclable materials and a modular design for easy repairs and upgrades.

Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), it promotes accessible, cost effective rehabilitation while fostering innovation and sustainable healthcare practices.

Project Summary

Stroke survivors often experience compromised gait due to impaired neuromuscular coordination and balance deficits, which hinder their ability to initiate and maintain natural walking patterns. These challenges can severely limit mobility, reduce confidence, and contribute to an increased risk of falls. StrideAid is the solution, a mobile rehabilitation device designed to deliver adaptive, real time support that restores functional movement and independence. By providing tailored assistance that adjusts to the unique needs and progress of each patient, StrideAid enables improved balance, strength, and walking patterns. This innovative approach not only enhances rehabilitation outcomes but also empowers users to regain autonomy and rebuild their quality of life for lasting recovery.
