Specialized medical furniture design (Part 1) --- Pediatric medical furniture design

The design of pediatric outpatient medical furniture must take into account the psychological and physiological needs of children. What specific factors should we pay attention to in the design of pediatric furniture? Next, the editor will share with you the experience and design principles of Da Yin Medical designers in the design of pediatric medical furniture.

1. Security

Children are still in the growth and development stage, and most of them are "brave adventurers". Safety is the first factor to be considered. Therefore, when designing pediatric medical furniture, the lines of the furniture should be smooth and round, without sharp angles and rough and hard surfaces, so as to reduce the occurrence of falls, bumps, abrasions, etc., and give children a sense of security visually and psychologically.

2. Practicality

"Practicality" is the essence and purpose of furniture design. The practicality of pediatric medical furniture refers to the strong adaptability presented in the diagnosis and treatment process of pediatrics, which should meet the objective growth rules of children and their own medical properties. Therefore, pediatric medical furniture should be designed more from the perspective of children.

3. Comfort

According to the analysis of ergonomic factors, the factors of children's physiology, product factors, and treatment environment should be comprehensively considered. Children's physiology factors mainly refer to height, so when designing medical furniture, the height factor should be analyzed in detail. For example, the size of the diagnosis bed and chair should be designed according to the height of the child to design the various parts of the furniture and the overall shape.

4. Childlike design

The design of pediatric medical furniture should be more beautiful and cute. Cartoon elements can be used in the design of medical furniture, such as car-shaped children's examination beds. The childlike environment can not only "heal" children's tension, anxiety, fear and other negative emotions, but also promote the rapid recovery of patients.

5. Color

Scientific research on the relationship between color and human psychology and emotions has found that color has an impact on both human psychology and physiology. Therefore, pediatric medical furniture with lively and vibrant colors will attract children to actively enter the clinic, and to a certain extent divert their fear of the hospital and allow them to receive treatment with peace of mind.

6. Environmental protection

When selecting materials for pediatric medical furniture, special attention should be paid to environmental protection. Furniture is closely related to human health. Green environmental protection is the first standard for purchasing medical furniture. It is necessary to require that all boards in hospital furniture must meet green environmental protection standards. During the use of pediatric medical furniture, no substances harmful to the human body will be released.

In every aspect of the design, production, construction and installation of medical furniture, Dayin Medical focuses on the concept of "putting people first, creating a high-quality, high-efficiency, and more humane hospital healing environment", providing pediatrics with a more humane, safe, comfortable and childlike healing space.
