Overview • Problem outline • Background • Current Device • EEG • Materials • Ergonomics • Competition • Preliminary design alternatives • Future considerations
Problem Statement Our goal is to develop a cart that houses all the components for monitoring an electroencephalogram (EEG). The cart should be designed with respect to ergonomic standards to facilitate easy workflow to ensure the comfort and safety of the users, while maintaining a compact footprint and low production costs.
Design Constraints • Dimensions conform to a mid-size device cart • House all components of EEG system • Address ergonomic and usability concerns • Cost efficiency • Materials
Current Device • No ergonomic adjustability • Minimal storage space • No solution for cable management • Uncomfortable working space • Constrained workflow
Electroencephalogram (EEG) • Measures brain activity • Basic procedure lasts 45-60 minutes • Machine used in EEG lab, ICU, ER, OR • System includes computer, monitor, amplifier, camera, and photic
Ergonomics • Comfort and usability at various heights • Optimal workspace • Layout based on frequency of use • Anthropometric data • FDA/AAMI guidance and standards
Competition Xltek Geodesic EEG Astro-Med, Inc B.E.S.T Medical
Future Work • Analyze survey data and client input • Choose final design • Build/buy design components • Test against current standards
