Bergle

Jagodnik, Tara (author), Miklavc, Jure (mentor)

Bergle so medicinski pripomoček, ki ga lahko srečamo vsakodnevno, kljub temu pa se modeli, ki jih preko naročilnice dobimo brezplačno, tekom let niso dosti spremenili. Razlog tiči v iskanju cenovno ugodne rešitve ter poskusu zaobjetja kar največjega števila uporabnikov, pri temu pa ostaja veliko uporabniških problemov nerešenih. Ravno ti problemi povzročajo, da se pacienti uporabe raje izogibajo razen, če le-ta ni nujno potrebna. Diploma je nastala kot poskus iskanja učinkovitejše rešitve, ki bi bila cenovno dostopnejša ter skuša tudi ponuditi odgovor na tehnični izgled medicinskih pripomočkov.

Abstract

Crutches are a medical device that we can see on a daily basis, however, models that we get free of charge by our health insurance haven't changed much over the years. The reason lies in trying to find a cost-effective solution, and trying to include as many users as possible. However, many user problems remain unresolved. These problems make the user experience more negative, and consequently the patients avoid using them until it is absolutely necessary. The thesis was created as an attempt to find a more efficient solution that would be affordable and offer a design solution to the classic technical appearance of medical aids.
