老年人家用电子血压计工效学设计

Ergonomics Design of Home Electronic Sphygmomanometer for the Elderly

目的运用工效学理论,研究现有老年人家用电子血压计的不足,基于老年用户特征和使用需求,从人性化关怀角度为该类产品的创新设计提供新的思路。方法在对市面上的血压计进行形态总结与分析的基础上,运用问卷法、访谈法调查老年人和医护人员的使用需求,同时结合文献研究法得到符合用户特征的主要产品参数和功能,最后进行针对老年人的家用上臂式电子血压计进行改良设计。结果研究发现,具有规则圆角的方体造型、对比醒目的浅色配色、更大字体和屏占比、有简易臂带收纳区、精简测量功能的上臂式电子血压计更符合老年人的需求。运用上述结论进行产品的外观创新与功能简化,完成优化的产品设计方案,并与现有产品进行对比验证。结论研究现有老年人家用电子血压计的不足,设计出符合老年人特征和需求的产品,对老年人家用电子血压计的设计和推广具有重要意义。

Objective By using the theory of Ergonomics to study the shortage of existing sphygmomanometers for the elderly,from the perspective of humanized care,this paper aims to provide new ideas for the innovative design of such products based on the characteristics and the needs of the elderly.After the morphological summarization and analysis of the sphygmomanometer on the market,the questionnaires and interviews were utilized to investigate the needs of the elderly and medical staffs.Then the main product parameters and functions that meet the user characteristics were obtained by the literature research method.Finally,an improved design of the home upper arm electronic sphygmomanometer for the elderly were proposed.The study found that the upper arm type electronic sphygmomanometer with regular rounded square shape,contrasting light color matching,larger font and screen ratio,simple arm storage area and streamlined measurement function is more suitable for the elderly.Applying the above conclusions to the product's appearance innovation and function simplification,the optimized product design was completed,and carried out comparative verification with the existing products.Conclusion By analyzing the deficiencies of existing home electronic blood pressure monitors for the elderly,a new product that meet the characteristics and needs of the elderly was designed,which is of great significance for the newly design and further promotion of home electronic sphygmomanometer for the elderly.
