Current Task: establish direction• Find multiple solutions for a single problem

Work with team I to develop SENSOR only Work in team II with 2 subdivisions

• Integrate sensors into past project Project Goals:

• Regarding most urgent Nazareth needs• Consider applicability in multiple fields

10

Scope!• General project objectives

How does software fit in? Weight regarding:

Focus of project Software vs Hardware

Team Members Need to confer with SE/EE Departments

Primary Concerns• No feedback control for winch

Create a system to prevent future winch failures• Pedal resistance

Jumpy Not enough resistance Patients refuse to use bike Design a more reliable pedal resistance system

• Handlebars Awkward, uncomfortable position Reposition handlebars to be comfortable for all patients

16

Secondary Concerns• Handlebars

Design handlebars to move and mimic a normal bike• Display

Obscured for some patients Not big enough Redesign the display for all patients to be able to view

Tertiary Concerns• Display

Redesign display to give a more valuable feedback to patient and physical therapist

Audio feedback to patient and physical therapist• Pedal

Easily adjustable pedal resistance

Common Themes• Ease of use• Accuracy and reliability• Incomplete aspects

20

Overview• Provide a review of past MSD project at the

clinic• Identify common themes of success and

failure• Develop a theory of design for clinic

projects

21

Goals• Improve the design process and design

experience• Improve the outcomes of projects for the

clinic

22

Market Considerations• Not a marketable product• Will benefit clinic and MSD program

23

Compile customer needs (In progress)• Previous projects• A lot of information

Hard to organize and analyze

24

Conduct Stakeholder Interviews (planning)• Identify new or general themes

Stakeholders• Clinic• Patients• MSD Program

MSD Leadership MSD Teams Faculty Guides

25

Organize, Analyze and Prioritize• Determine best approach

Affinity Diagrams One for each stakeholder

Use house of quality to determine relative importance of needs

Affordance based design?

26

Stakeholders Faculty

• Industrial and Systems Engineering• Industrial Design

Publications• ASME – Design Theory and Methodology

Conference• Text
