Summary:Objective Through the redesign of hospital beds, we seek better ways for elderly patients to encounter various problems due to physical mobility disorder, and to solve elderly patients, especially elderly patients with severe physical activities, in medical treatment and daily care. Methods Taking the treatment and rehabilitation needs of elderly patients as the design direction and ergonomics as the design standard, the observation method, investigation method and scenario analysis method are used to analyze the active and passive migration of elderly patients in the medical environment. The behavioral needs and behavioral state were recorded, evaluated and analyzed, and the actual problems and causes of the elderly patients due to physical movement were analyzed with the purpose and path of the behavior as clues. Conclusion Through the redesign of hospital beds, we can solve all kinds of problems that elderly patients encounter because of their body movement disorder in the process of seeking medical treatment, avoid secondary injury caused by inappropriate active or passive movement behavior of elderly patients, improve the safety and comfort of elderly patients in the process of seeking medical treatment and rehabilitation, and improve hospital doctors at the same time.
