Abstract

Stalni napredak u tehnologiji medicinskih pomagala stvara prilike za inovacije, no tržište još uvijek nije dovoljno zasićeno visokokvalitetnim rješenjima koja bi objedinila više potreba korisnika. U okviru ovog rada obrađena je problematika razvoja modula za elektrifikaciju invalidskih kolica s ciljem pružanja bolje podrške osobama s invaliditetom i osobama starije životne dobi. Provedena je detaljna analiza tržišta s naglaskom na identificiranje specifičnih zahtjeva i želja potrošača. Postojeći proizvodi su sustavno klasificirani u različite grupe kako bi se omogućila detaljnija analiza njihovih specifikacija. Proučeni su patenti povezani s konkurentnim proizvodima na tržištu, kako bi se bolje razumjela trenutna rješenja i mogućnosti daljnjeg razvoja. Na temelju dobivenih podataka, izrađena su konceptualna rješenja koja odgovaraju potrebama tržišta, a potom je provedena evaluacija te rangiranje svakog rješenja prema ključnim specifikacijama. Među razvijenim konceptima odabrano je najperspektivnije rješenje, koje je dalje detaljno razrađeno. U procesu razvoja, naglasak je bio na jednostavnosti korištenja te jednostavnosti instalacije i deinstalacije modula. Izrađeni su računalni 3D modeli svih komponenti odabranog rješenja, kao i odgovarajuća tehnička dokumentacija. Svi modeli i tehnički podaci potkrijepljeni su proračunima i tehničkim opisima koji osiguravaju funkcionalnost modula. Iz tehničkog aspekta, posebna pažnja posvećena je usklađenosti s relevantnim normama i standardima. Ti standardi reguliraju razvoj ovakvih proizvoda s ciljem osiguranja kvalitete i sigurnosti korisnika.

Abstract (english)

The continuous advancement in medical aid technology creates opportunities for innovation; however, the market is still not sufficiently saturated with high-quality solutions that address multiple user needs. This paper addresses the issue of developing modules for the electrification of wheelchairs, with the aim of providing better support to individuals with disabilities and those in need. A detailed market analysis was conducted, with a focus on identifying specific consumer requirements and desires. Existing products were systematically classified into various subgroups to enable a more detailed analysis of their characteristics. Patents related to relevant products were examined to gain a better understanding of current solutions and opportunities for further development. Based on the collected data, conceptual solutions that meet market demands were developed, followed by an evaluation of each solution according to key specifications. Among the developed concepts, the most promising one was selected for further elaboration. During the development process, emphasis was placed on the simplicity of use, installation, and de-installation of the product. Computer 3D models of all components of the chosen solution were created, along with the corresponding technical documentation. All models and technical data were supported by calculations and technical descriptions to ensure the reliability and functionality of the product. From a technical perspective, special attention was given to compliance with relevant norms and standards that regulate the development of such products, with the goal of ensuring product quality and user safety.
