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:

  1. Different wheel options to fix the weight/bearing issue
  2. Noise dampening and sound cancelling to reduce MRI noise pollution (self-cancelling tech, sound absorbing shapes & materials)
  3. Self cleaning materials to eliminate bacteria build up (example. Silver kills bacteria,  treating materials with it  is effective)
  4. Adjustable cuff to accommodate limbs of varying size
  5. 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.
