Project Name: Gamma Knife Appearance Design
Cooperation content: design analysis | appearance design | structural design | prototype production | accompanying running assistance
As the core equipment in the field of precision radiotherapy, this gamma knife design designed and built by Suo Guo takes "medical rigor and user psychological care" as its dual core, and integrates emotional considerations for the doctor-patient group in the industrial form. The following analyzes how to balance the "scientific and technological attributes" and "humanistic attributes" of medical equipment from the four dimensions of design analysis, design language, design details and ergonomics ".
1. Design Analysis: Functional Architecture in Medical Scenarios
The core scenario of Gamma Knife is high-precision tumor radiotherapy, and the underlying logic of the design is based on the "modularization of medical functions:
Clear functional partition: the whole machine is divided into three modules-main treatment cabin (arc structure, carrying the ray launch and positioning system), mechanical adjustment arm (connecting the treatment cabin and the base to realize multi-angle positioning), and stable base (ensuring the operation accuracy of the equipment). This partition not only meets the functional requirements of "precise positioning and stable output" of gamma knife, but also makes the operation logic of the equipment (positioning of treatment cabin and patient positioning) clear at a glance and adapts to the efficient working rhythm of the operating room.
Medical attributes of materials: the combination of "matte white medical plastic metal texture parts" is adopted, and white conveys "sterile and professional" medical scene attributes, which meets the clean requirements of radiotherapy environment. The metal-textured adjusting arm and base strengthen the professional sense of "precision machinery", allowing doctors and patients to perceive the "high precision" attribute of the equipment and enhance their trust in treatment.
2. Design Language: Visual Narration of Technology and Comfort
The design language of this gamma knife takes "calm technology" as the keynote, through the combination of form, color and light and shadow, to eliminate the oppression of medical equipment:
The soft expression of form: abandon the stiff straight line of traditional medical equipment, adopt the "full curved arc treatment cabin", and the rounded outline weakens the sense of deterrence of "large medical equipment" and conveys the psychological hint of "gentle treatment. The segmented design of the mechanical adjustment arm not only ensures the flexibility of the structure (to meet the needs of multi-angle treatment), but also reduces the visual "bulkiness" through the modular form ".
Emotional guidance of color and light and shadow: the main color is light gray and white, with blue atmosphere lamp-light gray and white "low saturation" characteristic, to avoid stimulating the patient's nervous mood; Blue light is associated with "technology and calmness", which not only strengthens the "precise treatment" attribute of the equipment, but also creates a "controllable and safe" treatment atmosphere through soft light effect to relieve the psychological pressure of doctors and patients.
3. Design Details: Humanistic Care Hidden in Precision
Excellent medical equipment design, the details of the more see the "doctor-patient center" considerations:
The details of the treatment cabin are ingenious: the "HEALTHTECH" logo on the front of the treatment cabin is presented in red light, which not only points out the attributes of medical technology, but also avoids the "warning feeling" brought by large area of red. The dot matrix texture and annular atmosphere lamp on the surface of the cabin are not simple decoration-the dot matrix texture can assist medical personnel to quickly identify the rotation angle of the treatment cabin, while the annular lamp can intuitively display the operating state of the equipment (standby/working), improve operational efficiency while allowing patients to clearly perceive the treatment process.
Optimization of mechanical structure details: the joint of the adjusting arm adopts the combination of "semi-transparent cover metal components", which not only shows the precision mechanical structure of the equipment (enhances professional trust), but also prevents medical personnel from touching moving parts by mistake and improves operation safety through the protective design of the cover. The integrated metal texture design of the base strengthens the visual perception of the "stability" of the equipment and makes doctors and patients feel more at ease.
4. Ergonomics: Precision and Comfort in Medical Operations
The operating accuracy of the gamma knife and the doctor-patient experience depend on the in-depth adaptation of ergonomics:
Man-machine adaptation of medical operation: the rotation angle of the treatment cabin and the operation stroke of the adjusting arm are all in line with the "standing operation posture" of medical staff-equipment debugging can be completed without bending over or stretching limbs greatly, thus reducing muscle fatigue of long-term operation. The operating area of the equipment (if integrated next to the treatment cabin) will also follow the principle of "hand up and touch" to improve the efficiency of treatment preparation.
Psychological adaptation of patient experience: the opening size and internal space of the arc-shaped treatment cabin are calculated by ergonomics, which not only ensures the accurate positioning during treatment, but also avoids the depression caused by "closed space"; The light gray and white cabin environment and soft blue light further relieve the patient's tension and make the treatment process more "humanized experience".
Conclusion: "Technology for Good" in Medical Design"
This gamma knife design is a symbiotic sample of medical technology and humanistic care. It takes functional modularization as the skeleton to ensure the technical requirements of accurate treatment. Taking softening design language as texture to eliminate the cold feeling of medical equipment; Taking detail design as nerve to protect the operation safety and psychological feelings of doctors and patients; Taking machine engineering as the blood vessel, medical equipment can truly serve "people".
With the rapid development of precision medicine, this design not only improves the operation efficiency and treatment experience of gamma knife, but also redefines the value of "large medical equipment"-it is no longer a cold treatment tool, but a "professional partner" for doctors and patients to fight diseases ". This concept of "balancing technology and humanities by design" also points out the direction for the innovation of medical equipment: only by deeply integrating "the rationality of medical precision" and "the sensibility of humanistic care" can we create medical products that truly benefit doctors and patients.
