Comfort and Care: Design of the Pediatric Medical Chair
At BlackRibun, we embarked on a heartfelt mission to enhance the comfort and well-being of infants and children admitted to hospitals with our innovative design of the Pediatric Medical Chair. This project has been recognised by BBC UK, and BlackRibun is honoured to be part of this. Here's a glimpse into our creative process and the thoughtful features we incorporated to support their treatment journey:
Understanding Pediatric Needs: We immersed ourselves in the world of pediatric healthcare, recognizing the importance of providing a supportive environment for infants and children during their hospital stay. Inspired by their need for comfort and mobility, we envisioned a medical chair that would promote active engagement and enhance their overall experience.
Creative Ideation: Our design team convened to brainstorm ideas and concepts for the Pediatric Medical Chair. We dreamed of a versatile and ergonomic design that would enable children to sit upright comfortably, facilitating their participation in playtime, exercises, meals, and other activities crucial for their treatment and recovery.
Innovative Features: Drawing on our expertise in product design and healthcare, we incorporated several innovative features into the Pediatric Medical Chair. One of the key features is the adjustable seat and backrest, allowing for personalized comfort and support tailored to each child's needs.
Promoting Mobility and Engagement: Our medical chair isn't just about providing a place to sit – it's also about promoting mobility and engagement. With its lightweight and portable design, children can easily move the chair to different areas of the hospital, enabling them to participate in various activities and interact with their caregivers and peers.
Safety and Security: We understand the importance of safety when it comes to pediatric healthcare. That's why our medical chair features sturdy construction and secure harnesses to ensure that children are supported and protected while sitting upright.
Comfort and Convenience: We didn't just stop at functionality – we also focused on creating a design that would enhance the comfort and convenience of both children and caregivers. With its soft padding and easy-to-clean materials, our medical chair provides a cozy and hygienic seating solution for young patients and their caregivers.
Empowering Healing: By providing children with the opportunity to sit upright during their hospital stay, our Pediatric Medical Chair plays a vital role in their treatment journey. By keeping their bodies active and energized, it promotes faster recovery and improved overall well-being.
Launch and Beyond: As our Pediatric Medical Chair makes its debut, we're excited to make a positive impact on the lives of young patients and their families. But our journey doesn't end here – we continue to innovate and refine our design, always striving to enhance the quality of care for pediatric patients in hospitals worldwide.
From concept to creation, our design of the Pediatric Medical Chair is a testament to our commitment to compassion and innovation in healthcare.
This project took immense research and intense collaboration with stakeholders, team of doctors and nurses were consulted at every step of the product design and development to make sure we are on right track and aligned with medical safety. From initiation to completion, it took about 2 years and BlackRibun stayed a part of this entire process. It gave us the recognition of one of the best design agency in India.
