Disinfection white cane is tailored for the easy disinfection of the blind. They are susceptible to diseases because they rely on hand touch for perception. Daily travel disinfection operations are challenging for them to fulfill. Disinfection white cane adopts a user-friendly structure. Users can press freely to disinfect their hands and environment to maintain personal hygiene easily. The braille prompt on its surface helps the blind cultivate the disinfecting habit.
