Konceptutveckling av laddningsbart mobilt trygghetslarm för särskilt boende inom äldreomsorgen
(2020) MAMM01 20201Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Sveriges kommuner ställer idag allt högre krav under upphandling av teknisk utrustning till äldreomsorgen. Inom särskilt boende handlar dessa krav exempelvis om att vårdtagare alltid ska ha möjlighet att larma och positioneras, samt nya krav om falldetektion och pulsmätning. Tunstalls mobila trygghetslarm uppfyller idag de två första kraven och ämnar att inom en snar framtid även implementera falldetektion och pulsmätning. Att implementera fler funktioner i trygghetslarmet ställer högre krav på strömförsörjningen. Idag drivs trygghetslarmet, som oftast är placerat runt handleden på vårdtagaren, av ett knappcellsbatteri som byts ut ungefär var sjätte månad.

- Sveriges kommuner ställer idag allt högre krav under upphandling av teknisk utrustning till äldreomsorgen. Inom särskilt boende handlar dessa krav exempelvis om att vårdtagare alltid ska ha möjlighet att larma och positioneras, samt nya krav om falldetektion och pulsmätning. Tunstalls mobila trygghetslarm uppfyller idag de två första kraven och ämnar att inom en snar framtid även implementera falldetektion och pulsmätning. Att implementera fler funktioner i trygghetslarmet ställer högre krav på strömförsörjningen. Idag drivs trygghetslarmet, som oftast är placerat runt handleden på vårdtagaren, av ett knappcellsbatteri som byts ut ungefär var sjätte månad. Med ökad funktionalitet i trygghetslarmet estimeras batteritiden att minska till ungefär en månad, vilket gör det ohållbart att använda engångsbatterier ur såväl ett ekonomiskt som miljömässigt perspektiv. Syftet med detta examensarbete är därför att utveckla koncept för ett laddningsbart mobilt trygghetslarm.
En användarkartläggning genomfördes vid fyra vårdboenden i Skåne som använder Tunstalls mobila trygghetslarm. Vid besöken observerades verksamheten och intervjuer utfördes med vårdpersonal på plats. Erfarenheten från användarkartläggningen lade grund för konceptgenereringen som genomfördes iterativt med användartester. Det koncept som mottogs mest positivt efter slutfasen av konceptgenereringen prototypades med skisser och scenarion och utvärderades under ett sista användartest.
Den slutgiltiga prototypen grundar sig i en löstagbar batterikomponent på ovansidan av trygghetlarmet som kan laddas separat på en laddningsstation. Den löstagbara batterikomponenten fästes med en bajonettfattning och kräver ett tvåhandsgrepp för att avlägsnas. Tvåhandsgreppet är designat för att hindra vårdtagarna att själva avlägsna batterikomponenten. (Less) - Abstract
- During public procurement for elderly care in Sweden, higher demands on technological equipment are being introduced. Besides the regular demands for residential care that the elderly always should be able to alarm the caretakers and to always be positioned within the housing, new demands include fall detection and pulse measurement. Tunstall's mobile personal alarm meets the regular demands and will soon include both fall detection and pulse measurement. However, adding more functions to the personal alarm increases the demands on power supply. Today, the personal alarm is powered by a disposable button cell battery which is replaced every sixth months. With increased functionality, the battery life is estimated to decrease to one month,...

Tunstall's mobile personal alarm meets the regular demands and will soon include both fall detection and pulse measurement. However, adding more functions to the personal alarm increases the demands on power supply. Today, the personal alarm is powered by a disposable button cell battery which is replaced every sixth months. With increased functionality, the battery life is estimated to decrease to one month, which is neither economically nor environmentally sustainable. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to generate new concepts for a chargeable mobile personal alarm.
User mapping was performed at four nursing homes in southern Sweden. Each visit contained observations of the everyday activities, as well as interviews with the caregivers. The experience from these visits set the foundation for an iterative design development inluding usability tests. The concept with the most positive respons from the user tests was then prototyped with sketches and scenarios and finally evaluated.
The final prototype is based on a removable battery component on the top of the personal alarm that can be replaced and charged at a charging station. The removeable battery component is attached using a bayonet fastening mechanism and requires a two-handed grip to be detached. The two-handed grip is designed to prevent caretakers from detaching the battery component by themselves. (Less)
