Study of Development Design on Vein Injection Support Equipment that uses Prototyping in Design Methods

Abstract

The malpractice is a social issue. In this research, to propose the equipment that supported the medical treatment person's vein injection by showing the position of the injection, the design process was applied. The concept of the equipment became clear by the concept design sketch. Next, an infrared sensor and a printer device was selected by using the design sketch. A 45 mm in the radius arc shape was decided from the analysis of the shape of the equipment and the relation of the patient- system relation by prototyping. As a result of the an ergonomic analysis on the equipment operation, we could decide its shape inclining about 30 mm of the rear side of the equipment by 15 deg. It is thought that the maintenance of the quality of medical care can be achieved with vein injection support equipment. In addition, the application development of the equipment can be expected of management and the medical education of the medicine with the proposed equipment. On the other hand, it is thought that it leads to the presentation of an appropriate solution when medical equipment is developed by executing the design that considers the form.
