Project Overview
The Vibrationless Patient Trolley with Detachable Bed is a collaborative
research and development project aimed at enhancing patient comfort and safety during medical
transport. The goal is to minimize vibrations experienced by patients, particularly those in
critical conditions, while also providing a detachable bed system for seamless transfers.
Challenges & Client Requirements
- Minimization of Vibrations: Patients being transported often experience
discomfort and potential medical complications due to vibrations from uneven surfaces.
- Detachable Bed Mechanism: The bed must be easily removable to facilitate
quick patient transfers between different medical equipment and environments.
- Structural Stability & Weight Optimization: The trolley had to be
lightweight yet strong, ensuring durability without compromising maneuverability.
- Ease of Use for Healthcare Professionals: The system had to be intuitive
and easy to operate, reducing strain on hospital staff.
Hesper Tech’s Approach & Solution
- Advanced Vibration Damping System: Designed a shock absorption mechanism
that significantly reduces vibrations from uneven floors and sudden movements.
- Detachable Bed Engineering: Developed a lightweight, secure, and
easy-to-operate bed detachment system, ensuring seamless patient transfer with minimal
effort.
- Ergonomic & User-Friendly Design: The trolley was designed for hospital and
emergency use, featuring adjustable height, smooth mobility, and easy handling.
- Material Selection & Durability Testing: Ensured the trolley’s structural
integrity by using lightweight but high-strength materials to support varying patient loads.
Outcome & Impact
- Enhanced Patient Comfort: Significantly reduces vibrations and sudden
jolts, making patient transport safer.
- Efficient Medical Transfers: The detachable bed feature simplifies movement
between medical stations, reducing stress on both patients and healthcare providers.
- Durable & Practical: Built with high-quality materials to ensure long-term
reliability in hospital and emergency environments.
- Innovative Healthcare Solution: This project serves as a benchmark for
future advancements in patient mobility and medical transport technologies.
