Latest Product Design Innovation
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010
One of 3di’s latest award winning product design innovations is a Patient Food & Beverage Trolley. Sunderland Royal Hospital had identified that traditional tea and coffee trolleys for providing patients refreshments are expensive to purchase and maintain. This new trolley has been designed to offer patients cost effective beverages, and designed for modern ward environments in terms of infection control and practicality. 3di visited the hospital ward to determine the design needs for the project and establish the design brief.
From the concept designs, two prototypes have been developed and will be going into service very soon!
The trolley was recently entered for the NHS Innovations Bright Ideas 2010 Awards and made the finals being awarded runner up. This design initiative from Sunderland Royal Hospital outlines the benefits of working to develop solutions with product designers, producing relevant products with an improved budget.
