It's target population is people with restricted mobility, limiting the usage of common household electrodomestics, such as blenders and microwaves. It's initial feature consists of a programmable timer that can be interacted by pushing tether buttons that can be retrofited as bumpers, in such a way that a wheelchair user can actuate the buttons by bumping it with the chair, programming and actuating the socket in the process.
