Hi Everyone, my name is Adam and I am a final year design student at Loughborough University.
I am designing a product which aims to aid first responders to treat casualties more effectively upon arrival at the scene of an incident.
With this in mind I have thought of some questions I'd like to ask and would be very grateful if you can give me your views and thoughts.
In order to better understand the scenario of a paramedics role at a casualty scene, can you describe the routine you would go through upon arrival.
- What is most important?
- Why do you do what you do?
- What are you trying to achieve? How do you go about achieving this?
What essential kit does a paramedic carry with them at all times?
- Do you have any know problems with any of the kit? What are your key frustrations? Why?
-- Awkward to carry
-- Hard to use (Complicated)
-- Counter Intuitive
-- Wasting time
-- Hard to find things
- Is there anything you wish you could do that you currently can't related to your kit?
What is the most critical moment in the event of an emergency?
- How do you go about addressing this?
Where/When are the most mistakes made?
- Why/how do they happen?
-- Can these be prevented/helped with the aid of a new product?
-- What goes wrong with existing products?
When was the last time you had any frustrations in the process of treating a casualty?
- Why did this occur?
I appreciate this is a lot to take ask so please don't feel rushed to reply. I will be appreciative of any feedback on these questions.
Many Thanks
Adam
