Hi, everyone. I am a Senior Industrial Design (product design) student at Ohio State University. At our school, our last quarter is dedicated to a thesis project which gives each student the opportunity to research and develop their own project. Ive been working on re-designing the interior of an Ambulance. Specifically interactive aspects, storage space, and other related items.
Ive interviewed a guy at our local fire department who uses Horton rigs. Some things he pointed out were lighting, and communication issues. Cleaning (lots of crevices to worry about). And some other detail related items.
As I have been doing some other research, Ive discovered how broadly different Ambulances can be. So I joined here to see if I could get a more broad spectrum on current issues EMTs might have. I've been skimming through existing threads, and have gathered some ideas from that, but would like to get a more open collection of ideas from the community here.
What issues do you guys/gals currently have with the Ambulance you work in?
Are there specific ideas that have come across your mind? Is so, please explain.
Are there things you have worked with in one Ambulance, and wished they were available in another, etc?
If you can, please provide which model Ambulance you are working with and/or have issues with.
Thanks for your time. I will post up the final product when I have completed it for you all to see. And may post up concept ideas for feedback. For anyone local to the Ohio State University, our Senior show will be June 3rd - 14th with the main reception on June 4th.
