Cold Hands? Arthritis Sufferer? Help is on the way.- My Battery operated GLOVES.
What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
The world, especially the elderly and those suffering from arthritis, need a pair of battery operated gloves that would be used as follows:
1 - These gloves will help keep the hands warm in cold weather.
2 - They will also be used as a heating pad for those suffering with pain or arthritis in their hands.
These battery operated gloves could also be ac/dc and can be used all year long depending on your needs.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
After winning the $10K, my next step is to locate a glove manufacturer that could help develop my idea.
Vote for it now.
I've personally never heard of heated gloves before but when I googled it I came up with a lot of these products already on the market.

However it seems like these are all for cold weather and keeping warm outside as opposed to helping with arthritis pain. I guess the two kinds of gloves would need to be different, because you'd want people to still be able to do tasks inside their houses with the gloves on.
You would need to market to elderly people, especially in cold areas. Maybe get ad's in AARP or dive demonstrations in retirement communities or places where lots of retired people live.
