Ford SupportBelt | Emily Obert — “Solving the Problem” | Ford
As Ford In-Vehicle Accessibility Manager, Digital Design, Emily Obert knows a problem that needs to be solved when she sees it. Together with a Human Centered Design Team at Ford, she helped take the idea of the SupportBeltTM through research and development to the point where it has become a reality. Watch Emily’s story.
The Ford SupportBeltTM is the first seat belt accessory designed by a U.S. automaker to help mastectomy patients travel comfortably on their road to recovery. See it through the eyes of the innovators who brought it to life and the breast cancer warriors who inspired its creation.
