| Summary: | In Mexico, a benefit that several companies bring to workers is health insurance in public hospitals. However, as public hospitals have become one of the most popular places in recent years, overpopulation in these institutions has been noticed. In certain occasions, patients need to have a close relative to help them perform activities within the hospital. These relatives become caregivers who remain seated most of the time. These caretakers inspired the development of a product to fight hand fatigue by using emotional and experience design. Very specific deficiencies were identified: poor hygiene in physical infrastructure and facilities, dama-ged equipment and furniture, lack of surveillance and critical conditions for the patient's companion stay. As a result, a search was carried out to improve this type of needs based on Industrial Design. |
