Yesterday, nursing students and occupational therapy students of Hogeschool Zuyd and products design students of KHLim Media & Design Academie Genk presented their concepts for a new bed pan. Various design solutions were shown during this meeting. This innovative project was initiated by Arion.

The synergy of three different study programs was very efficient. Students involved had a very positive experience. Working in
multidisciplinary
groups enabled the students to explore the current bed pans from various perspectives. The three groups used a human centered design method in their approaches to design a new bed pan. Students learned to be critical towards resources and processes in health care.

The concepts designed by the students were part of a first brainstorm phase. Arion will present and evaluate their concepts with field specialists to create a final list of demands concerning the productdevelopment of the future bed pan.
