Measure a bathroom to correctly assess the right equipment solution for an individual with mobility impairment. BathCheck is designed by ShowerBuddy for use by occupational therapists, mobility specialists and the end user. How BathCheck works By inputting some dimensions of your own bathroom as prompted by the app you will get a result that explains how you can access your shower again, using equipment that will be configured correctly for your bathroom. Please review several bathroom plans by scrolling through the drawings to find similar situations to your bathroom, then as you go complete the dimensions A – Z (or as appropriate to your bathroom to find out a result). You’ll find out if Showerbuddy equipment will fit, along with information about configuring the equipment with the extensive range of accessories Showerbuddy offers. About Showerbuddy Showerbuddy, the app developer, is an international, award-winning company manufacturing shower commode chairs that slide and transfer a user in a comfortable and safe seated position over a bathtub or over a shower step to shower. It is no longer necessary to undertake expensive, stressful and time- consuming bathroom remodels. Showerbuddy can be set up in under an hour, helping your loved one or client once again enjoy the comfort and privacy of their own shower. It has the benefit of portability should the client move home and can also be put away after showering to allow the family to continue using the bathroom without equipment clutter. However, bathrooms vary in design. This poses challenges for those prescribing a solution to the access problem: ● Will the equipment fit? ● Will it work in the confines of this bathroom? BathCheck helps you answer these questions before the need for an in person consultation. Better for OTs, support staff, families and the individual.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ECON at 100% against BathCheck's 50%. ECON also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). BathCheck's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
