DEPUTY is redesign of phone holder for short-term inpatients.

Some of patients in hospital beds cannot move because a part of their body was injured, so they need to stay in bed for a period of time. 

Lying for long periods of time and playing with your mobile phone may cause degeneration of the cervical spine. This non-physiological condition can cause excessive traction of muscles and ligaments in the back side of the cervical spine, which can cause local inflammation and pain.

The existing design does not allow for the privacy of patient information in a multi-patient room. According to previous research, people spend most of their time swiping the phone with their fingers. Existing products do not offer a solution to this problem. It doesn't fundamentally free the user hands.
