The market for lighting equipment that improves the quality of medical work is large. But it covers the needs of specialists for the most part only in peacetime. There are no specialized lamps for situations related to disaster medicine. There are also no systems that take into account the specifics of the work of doctors on the front line, although in the zone of localization of military conflicts the number of people in need of medical care is significantly increasing. It is necessary to develop special lighting equipment. The main goal of the work is the design concept with mainly researched user experience when creating a visual image of the system. The purpose of article is to show an approach to designing concepts of future lighting systems in design, which can become the basis for engineering development.
The preceding stage of technical development of a new product that has no analogues is conceptual design. Its result is the concept of the future object.
Creating a design begins with observing the target audience. This allows you to create basic user scenarios. In the case of the lighting system for mobile hospitals, we studied the specifics of the activities of doctors. It turned out that extreme conditions near the contact line affect the work of doctors and nurses. This requires a fundamentally new approach to the layout of the system elements. It becomes clear that it is necessary to implement the principle of modularity. The design methodology in industrial design allows you to understand exactly how to do this.
An analysis of the scenarios of the work of military doctors has shown a number of problems they face in mobile hospitals in war zones. The main criteria of the future lighting system were derived. First, they were embodied in search sketches, and after checking them for ergonomics – in the final visualizations.
The methods of design of lighting equipment made it possible to solve a number of tasks:
– Ensuring the possibility of assembling the necessary set of fixtures due to a narrow typology of modules;
– Achieving the greatest compactness of components so that 1–2 people can transfer their minimum set for the organization of one workspace;
– Minimizing the risk of accidental errors in working with equipment.
