Development of a new infusion stand or clinical practice: Cart Around Car System
- Infusion stands are a central tool in health care. They are mainly found in hospitals, are usually in use for many years, sometimes carry enormous loads (e.g. irrigation solutions, perfusors), are also used by mobility-impaired persons to support walking, promote mobility and self-determination during ongoing infusion therapy, and must be stored in sufficient numbers. The weaknesses of the existing design of infusion stands are well known to users. Nevertheless, for decades there has been no further development or adaptation to new, changed requirements, let alone to new technical possibilities. In the short term, it makes sense to further develop the existing infusion stand models in an evolutionary manner in order to quickly produce an improvement in the functions and to mitigate the greatest weaknesses. In this respect, the project team has shown in the context of technical developments that there are very simple, but in terms of functionality, safety and data protection very worthwhile adaptations that can and should be taken up by the industry. The redesign of the basic element alone brings so much improvement for the use of this aid that an industrialization in several senses – for the individual and society – would be more than promising. With this research project, the project group would like to give an impulse for the participatory involvement of users in assistive technology research. The user groups can participate in different phases of the product development; at least the products should be evaluated regularly in their application by the users.
