Twinkle Shah: Prosthetic Model Project: Massing Model

Concept: 
For this model, I decided I wanted to create something that would be useful for people on the go, especially during this Covid-19 season. One of the hassles or worries the global community is facing these days is the issue of contaminating themselves through transferal of germs from public areas to the hands, and then to the face. This is one of the most common ways that people catch the Corona Virus. Lately, hand sanitizer has even gone out of stock in most stores due to the high demand for precaution against germs. 
Often times, there is not easy access to hand sanitizer when on the go, causing people to go without disinfecting their hands in public areas, and then ingesting the germs or spreading them more. This is why I wanted to create a device that can be worn on the wrists that automatically dispenses hand sanitizer through a simple hand motion, in the right amount and right when you need it. It is also meant to be sleek and pleasing to wear, like jewelry. The bangle is worn around the wrists, and is itself the dispenser of the hand sanitizing liquid, which is filled in an inner tube inside the bangle. 

Here is a sketch of the product:
