Industry 4.0, Nakajima Test, Elderly healthcare: Cross-disciplinary projects in the yearly Project Course for Exchange Students. https://www.productdevelopment.se/?p=5433#new_tab&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=industry-4-0-nakajima-test-elderly-healthcare-cross-disciplinary-projects-in-the-yearly-project-course-for-exchange-students Mon, 15 Jan 2018 11:40:08 +0000 http://www.designforwellbeing.org/?p=878 Two months to apply in “real life” what has been learned during the years of university education, starting from a plan to the delivery of a final solution. This was the task the international students participating in the MT1490 yearly project course. Three teams of students, have on January 10th presented the results of multidisciplinary research and development projects run under the supervision of four teachers from PDRL: Alessandro Bertoni, Marco Bertoni, Azad Syed Chowdhery and Shafiqul Islam.

Wellbeing project in course https://www.designforwellbeing.org/?p=913&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wellbeing-project-in-course Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:09:57 +0000 http://www.designforwellbeing.org/?p=913 Using their achieved engineering skills to solve real challenges from real industrial companies is an important and inspiring challenge for the almost ready engineering students and a central part of the “In Real Life” mantra that BTH students practice. This years’ breed of Innovative product development students from three different programs have come together to address challenges from four different partner organizations.

SICAHT

The students working with SICAHT (http://www.sicaht.org) were given an open problem of how use of digital technologies could have a transformative impact on the healthcare sector. An important task for the students was to frame the problem and define for themselves what they wanted to change with their solution. The students targeted loneliness among elderly people, who may have been dealt a life changing experience such as losing a near relative, which significantly altered their social networks. Based on extensive user research they came up with the solution of the “Golden Experience”, which is a social network directly aimed at members being at least 65 who needs a nudge into more social activities and interactions.

Primary healthcare innovation goes prototype https://www.designforwellbeing.org/?p=369&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=201105-primary-healthcare-innovation-goes-prototype Fri, 13 May 2011 10:09:14 +0000 http://www.designforwellbeing.org/?p=369 Students within the master program Sustainable Product-Service Innovation (http://www.bth.se/mspi) at Blekinge Institute of Technology has together with a nurse and under the guidance of Tobias Larsson, developed a new generation prototype of a healthcare product.

The product, a leg rest, supports the leg (or arm) while taking care of wounds or other treatment. It releaves the nurse of some lifting and also free up for usage of both arms in caring for the patient.

The patented design has been improved in terms of usability and design and is now in 2nd generation prototype where next step is commercialisation and marketing, where BTH Innovation will be partner in the future endeveours.

BTH students and wellbeing thinking has come to the support of a nurse who desired a solution to a problem that she experinced first hand…
