Things to Note from Hospital Implementation

Filed under: Uncategorized — deepti @ 12:23 pm

Bed Motes

-need a better location for bed motes (more accessible)

-need to be attached to surface differently – magnets didn’t work; sticky tape didn’t allow it to be adjusted and was hard to get off after the experiment

-motes need to be attached in box differently – sticky tape wasn’t sticky enough; USB cables could come off easily

-next time, add batteries?

Pyramids

-need longer cables to plug them in

-put a sticker in a more visible location to identify it as part of the experiment

-put a “This Side Down” sticker on the bottom to avoid people flipping them over

-try to cover the switch so nobody can turn it off

Pagers

-check all the USB/charge lights with the cables we use

-figure out the flash problems

-lighter design? towards the end, nurses still complained about the weight

Pucks

-more sturdy – pucks take a lot of beating depending on the day and the person using it, so they need to be able to stand up to that; the screws also started to come loose toward the end of the experiment

-keep the blue light visible

-simpler hardware – taking them apart to replace a battery or adjust the sensitivity took a lot of time

-put out new designs in the hospital earlier to see the problems they face – different people pump differently and it would be really hard to mimic that in the lab

-come up with something for free-standing bottles

-need something that wouldn’t be as complicated to replace and/or to change out bottles
