Abstract

This study designed the new Health Monitoring Seat System (HMSS) that can adapt to an individual, and provide several interactive health care functions. The design process of the system employed the perspective of Timeaxis Design, a concept incorporating the viewpoint of time into the theory and methodology of design, in order to consider the technological progress over time. The proposed system undergoes three development stages: STAGE I, STAGE II, and STAGE III. The system model (system's values, meanings, and the basic architecture) of the HMSS were derived by employing the Multispace Design Method and Systems Modeling Language (SysML). As a result, the HMSS that provides "drowsiness prevention function", "drunken driving prevention function", "stress relief function", "fatigue relief function", "driver condition management function", and "beauty enhancement function"; consists of "data analysis system", "monitoring system", and "seat system" was designed. Furthermore, by constructing the system model for three development stages, visualized the roadmap for the development of the HMSS.
