Students turned loose
at Hospital Lillebælt

A mobile workstation for inserting a drip, a handsfree door opener, and a dialogue tool for ensuring user-involvement when merging departments. These are some of the proposed solutions produced by third-year Industrial Design students during a collaboration project between Hospital Lillebælt and Design School Kolding.
27 February 2014

On Friday 28 February all the projects were presented at a conference hosted by Design School Kolding for representatives from Hospital Lillebælt and a number of other interested parties. Hospital Lillebælt are pleased with the collaboration:

- We want to improve our hospital but sometimes it's hard for us to discover new solutions because we focus only on the correct professional approach. Designers can help you get passed this because they have a totally different outlook, says Project Manager for Health Innovation and Welfare Design Ann Mathilde Furrer. I'm pleased to see what the students have come up with and hope to be able to take some of their ideas further, she says.


FACT
The welfare design project is organised and facilitated by Project Manager Gunilla Mandsfelt Eriksen from the LAB for Social Design in collaboration with Hospital Lillebælt. Presented with a number of challenges by Hospital Lillebælt, the students have visited various departments to observe procedures before deciding which challenges to pursue. Project period: January-February, 2014.
