research
A clinician has the choice to place any patient over the age of 24 months in an adult size bed based on Potty Training
Status, Size of Child, and Bed Used at Home. The bed must reflect the size of the child as
oppose to the age.
6.3 million children (newborn- 18) are hospitalized a year. FDA says adult size beds are “designed for care of an adult patient.
Dimensions are not appropriate to children.”
More than one form of growth. High probability of stunted social development including language, self- esteem, learning
skills, and a positive attitude.

Retractable Wheels:Allow the bed to get closerto the ground
Mattress: - Designed for optimal
comfort of patient
Grow With the Child:
• Fits the patient’s size as oppose to age•• Mattress size ranges from 35” x83” to 20”x • • Fabric covering base to prevent injury•• Size of bed helps keep patient oriented upright
preventing wire entanglements and entrapments•• Fabric sides prevent injuries and create a more
comfortable environment•• Less intimidating form

Design
• 3 layers composed of Nylon- Polyurethane inflatable elements, Polyurethane Bi-Elastic Cover, covered in Outlast Thermocules
• Outlast Thermocules provide localized temperature regulation decreasing chance of pressure ulcers
design
• Runs on compressed air located in the headwall and pneumatic motors throughout the bed
• Less intimidating• Doesn’t produce as much heat• Lighter weight- easier to move• Less expensive motors• Quieter

safety and comfort
Design
• Connected to telescoping tubes (in both directions) ultimately covered

mobility of bed• Shape allows for flip- out wheel design
for a lower bed height
design
• Through shape- memory polymers and small flexible heating devices the side rails curl down at the touch of a button
• Decrease cage like feeling• Padded side rails help the patient from
injurying themselves
• Easier for a child to get in and out of the bed, with less chances of falling- a

to get closer to the ground• Raises and lowers through a ND6 Spiralift

Spiral Lift: - Can lift over 4,000 lbs
Pneumatic Automatic Lifts: - Helps in collapsing of spine
Weighing System: - Allows patients to be
weighed in bed
Hexagon Supports: - Rotate and collapse allowing
bed to shrink in sizeMattress:- Air mattress
Pneumatic Linear Actuator:- Helps in collapsing of spine
Rotary Pneumatic Motor:- Rotates Hexagon Supportsfor smallest footprint
Air Control Box:- Converts 36 air nozzlesinto one for easier management
Collapsed Spine
Lazy Susan: - Allow top supports to rotate
6° for a smaller footprint
As bed size needs to decrease:
1. Pneumatic Automatic Lifts retract
2. Hexagonal Supports collapse
3. Top supports rotate 6°creating a smaller footprint for a smaller bed
how it works
Design
• Rotate creating a smaller hexagon • structure through Rotary Pneumatic Motors• Made of fiberglass and carbon nanotube
fabric for strength and flexability
design
• Designed to deflate in a controlled way through a series of 4 stages
• Barrel design is more ergonomic allowing for a more restful sleep
• Mated box to mattress to allow ease of changing mattress out if necessary
• 36 computer controlled air nozzles are converted into one main nozzle for easy maintenance
• Multiple nozzles allow for a controlled deflation/ inflation of mattress

design for the patient
• Multiple functions is a necessity for such a small hospital space
• Needs to be simple enough that it’s not overwhelming to patients
• Security of storage -store items out of sight• Storage has to be accessible from both
sides of table• Has to be easily cleanable
• First person observation• Employee interviews ranging from
hospital to extended living facilities• Previous patient interviews
• No matter the patient’s ailments, stimulation is a necessary part in the healing process
• Currently entertainment options are the radio and TV

Cost for adjusting the over the bed table at Miami Valley Hospital (120 nurses for 611
beds)= over $250,000/ year!*
*based on nurses saying they spend 30 mins./ 12 hr. shift adjusting it for patients
Used by patients, medical staff, and family;Generations range from:
Baby Boomers- Generation Y
Hospital rooms are so compact every inch of space is covered with items ranging from
medical devices, to flowers, to cafeteria trays.

Storage System: - Allows for customized storage
Capacitive Sensors: - Allow bed to raise and lower at touch of a button
Flat Lift: - Quiet motorized base allows easy raising and lowering of table
Touch Screen:- Allows patient involvement in understanding diagnosis, and treatment, have internet, TV and stimulation
Headphone Jack: - Allows patient to listen without disturbing others
Food Rack: - Top piece is sloped 3°, lip around space and implied cup holder discourage liquid from spilling on patient - Large enough to hold a standard cafeteria tray, 14”x 18”
Nurses Tray: - Collapsable tray separates patient and medical staff space
Hospital Grade Receptacle: - Cord comes off to allow easy cleaning or replacement
Wheels:- Larger wheels facilitate movement without as much cord friction

research
• 40% of consumer spending is impulse buying• Research showed they were often in the way
of the consumer slowing down the check- out process
• First person observation• 15 employee interviews ranging
from a variety of retail environments• 15 customer interviews
• $19,000-$25,000 per min. is stolen in retail environments
• 44% of all theft is professional thieves or employees
• Employees are 15 times more likely to steal compared to customers

The checkout experience starts when the customer approaches the desk with their selected article of clothing. This diagram shows the exchange of employee and
guest during the checkout process.

Interaction?
it’s all about efficiency
When asked if customers prefer personal interaction when shopping, the majority
said Yes. The cashwrap was then designed with an associate in mind.
personalinteraction?
checkout experience:
designSPASMODICAcashwrap
Payment: - Pay by phone - Paperless coupon and receipts - Cardless shopping - Creates customer loyalty
Adjustable Computer: - Fits any height - Allows for a better experience
Hanger Cart: - Major complaint of retail employees was hanger space filled too quickly - No longer inefficient space, ability to switch full cart for empty cart is simple
Additional Sales Shelving: - Relocated ‘last minute purchase’ products to a less obtrusive location - Backlit lighting draws attention to products as to guarantee no drop in sales
Efficient Checkout:
• Cashier can adjust the computer for optimal viewing
•• Hanger cart organizes hangers quickly and
efficiently•• More counter space without hindering sales•• Paying by phone is a quick and efficient • process without having to count money
efficiency
• Nike is a brand focused on every detail of their products. Carrying this idea through the entire checkout process is a necessity in order to reflect the brand.
design
• Relocated add- on items without hindering sales
• Backlit shelving draws attention to items
• Current hanger space fills up too quickly and is a mess
• With a wheeled cart, ability to switch full cart for an empty cart is simple
• No longer an inefficient and space consuming process for hangers
reflect the brand: additionalsales shelving: hanger cart:
“if you have a body you’re an athlete”

design
• Pay through cell phone- cardless shopping
• Paperless coupons• Paperless receipts
• Grind old Nike clothes to fibers, then reuse to create advertising bags in a sports setting
• 1 trillion plastic bags are currently produced around the world every year
• 386 million lbs. of clothes wasted every year
counter material: credit, debit, or phone? reusable bags:
just do it.

Corian:• Easy to clean and maintain- No grout or • sink lips• Durable enough to withstand heavy traffic• Stain resistant• Won’t support the growth of mold or mildew
accessoriesSPASMODICAcashwrap
Holds Garment: - Standard pin found in standard clothing security tags - Holds device into garment as well as price tag into device allowing garment to be returned
Holds Price Tag: - Price tag is placed in between allowing customer to view in formation through clear window, while preventing barcode switching
RFID Tag: - Enables goods to be replenished without sales loss because of a confused inventory - Deters opportunity and knows what was stolen
Clear Plastic: - Allows consumer to see tag without ability to be able to change price
Plastic Cantilever: - Protects RFID from barcode switching
“get something for nothing”
Security Device:
• Theft is a major issue in the retail environment• Through hidden RFID tags it implies in order
for the tag to be removed, it must be scanned out of the system.
