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
