| dc.description.abstract | This technical report presents the redesign process of a Patient Heave prototype, aiming to
improve its functionality, safety, and user experience. The current prototype was evaluated, and
its strengths and weaknesses were identified. Through extensive research and analysis, including
market research and user needs assessment, a comprehensive understanding of the requirements
for an effective Patient Heave was developed. Design concepts were generated through
brainstorming and ideation, followed by sketching and storyboarding to visualize potential
improvements. The selection of the final design was based on predefined criteria, considering
factors such as usability, ergonomics, and manufacturability. The redesigned prototype
incorporated key changes and enhancements to address the identified shortcomings, focusing on
improved maneuverability, ease of use, and enhanced safety features. Testing and evaluation
were conducted to validate the redesigned prototype, including user testing and feedback
collection. The results of the evaluation demonstrated significant improvements in functionality,
usability, and user satisfaction. The report also discusses the challenges encountered during the
redesign process and outlines the lessons learned for future prototyping projects. Overall, the
redesigned Patient Heave prototype offers a promising solution for safe and efficient patient
transfers, and recommendations for further development are provided. | en_US |
