On this page I will be explaining the premise of the group project that we (second year design students) will be partaking.
We had a Teams meeting on 21/02/2023
(1) Ideas that were discussed:
- Different wheel options to fix the weight/bearing issue
- Noise dampening and sound cancelling to reduce MRI noise pollution (self-cancelling tech, sound absorbing shapes & materials)
- Self cleaning materials to eliminate bacteria build up (example. Silver kills bacteria, treating materials with it is effective)
- Adjustable cuff to accommodate limbs of varying size
- Maybe look into making the coil more accessible for larger patients? Lots of differently sized coils is good but may cause humiliation for the patient if they need a larger coil, medical anxiety etc etc.
