Description
Summary:Patients with low mobility capability require full assistance to meet their activities, such as urine-container drainage, object removal, and body washing. It is more complicate for home care patients who do not always have adequate supervision and support, as there are very limited numbers of available home-care nurse and/or supporting family members with nursing abilities. Based on this issue, the project sought to design add-on bed features that can support assigned home-care nurse or family members to assist low-mobility patients in more efficient way by optimizing nursing activities such as draining urine container, and washing patient’s body. The designed object are aimed to assist nursing activities as well as reducing patient’s pressure-cause ulcers due to prolong bed-resting activity.
