Abstract
En 中文
It is crucial to create a practical and efficient solution for patients requiring regular self-injections. Currently used auto-injection systems face challenges such as high cost, complex assembly, and hygiene issues. In this field, medical device manufacturers are developing alternative designs with patient-friendly solutions. In this paper, a new auto-injection syringe system has been developed using the design thinking method. The proposed new design eliminates the need for medication transfer, creating an innovative system that enhances hygiene and user convenience. Recyclable materials were used in the design to develop a cost-effective solution. Static analyses performed using NX Nastran software has validated the design's structural integrity and functionality. Through the ergonomic design developed with the design thinking method, the goal is to create a solution that increases patient comfort, reduces environmental impact, and meets medical standards.
