トイレ機能付き電動車椅子の開発における市場調査報告―福祉生活支援機器の開発に関する研究―

The ultimate objective of this study is to develop an"electric wheelchair with toilet functions,"a piece of welfare support equipment based on a concept rarely found in existing welfare equipment, which is designed to help maintain the self-respect of elderly or disabled people. The wheelchair is designed for elderly or disabled persons who are unable to move from their wheelchairs to toilet seats by raising their bodies with their own arms, or who cannot be attended to by caregivers regularly. This report presents the results of a questionnaire given to Hachinohe City residents (with 100 respondents) and nursing care facilities in Aomori Prefecture (27 facilities were selected for the questionnaire, of which 21 responded, a return rate of 77.8%). The survey was carried out to further the research and development into a prototype for the above welfare equipment, with the aim of creating a prototype based on the responses of Hachinohe City residents and of those who are actually engaged in nursing service for the elderly or disabled people in these facilities. The results have made it clear that while the benefits and the necessity of developing an electric wheelchair with toilet functions are fully recognized,there is still a need to examine matters such as its scope of use,in the light of ways of thinking about care and medical practice for the elderly and the disabled

人間の感性のデータ・ベースを応用したインダストリアル・デザインの試み

In this research,a database on the characteristics of human sensitivity to certain images was prepared as basic research on kansei engineering(sensory or sensitivity engineering),which is an engineering approach to the kind of merchandising that brings pleasure and satisfaction to people. Kansei engineering analyzes human sensitivity and integrates those results into the design of merchandise. The purpose is to investigate and report whether products designed based on the sensitivity characteristics database embodied those images clearly. In this report,test subjects were asked to give answers about the characteristics of their sensitivity to each of the following images:"elegance,""neatness,""gorgeousness,"and"freshness." Then coffee cups were designed based on the obtained database so that the respective images could be embodied,and they were shown to the test subjects so as to ask them what kind of images they received. As a result of the investigation,the following conclusions were made: 1) For"elegance"and"gorgeousness,"69% of the test subjects replied that their images of"elegance"were embodied in the merchandise,while 77% replied that their images of"gorgeousness"were embodied in the merchandise. Therefore,it was quite clear that the merchandise was made according to their images, partly because the images of"elegance"and"gorgeousness"had a strong impact. 2) For"neatness"and"freshness,"57% of the test subjects replied that their images of"neatness"were embodied in the merchandise,while 55% replied that their images of"freshness"were embodied in the merchandise. The results reflected ambiguity,partly because the very images of"neatness"and"freshness" had a weak impact. 3) This report indicates that products that satisfy people\u27s needs can be manufactured by accumulating a database on human sensitivity and applying the database to manufacturing
