My job for our reasearch is to find literature reviews that nurses have put out talking about what problems they are experiencing while using the Hoyer Lift, test bed 4. Not only that but I am to create a survey for them to take so that we can get a better understanding of what to change on the modified version. Also, while getting feedback from the nurses I also am suppose to protect them by not asking questions that may be too personal and could possibly get them in trouble. The last final thing that I am also responsible for is creating a task analysis so that Aaron and Shae know what is to be depicted in Jack Simulations. Some challenges that I am facing is the fact that our advisor went to Thailand for 3 weeks so we aren't able to get in contact with her as much as we would like so there is a little confusion on our part. Another problamatic area is that I am not sure what information that I have found/will find has already been found by her. Other than that it's pretty fun to be the "main component" before anything else can take place, also it's pretty cool to be "The Boss" of Shae and Aaron. The goal is to make it even easier for the nurses to transport. I would like to have the process so easily done that the nurses barely have to require any force in the process. If this research is found successful we, the 3 of us, plan on going to many conferences and present our findings. Hopefully we will get a lot of job oppertunities along with schlarship money but on a more serious note if this research is successful it will create a lot of oppertunities for our school and engineering program. The impact that it will cause will be significant for technology, medical field, hosiptals, and nurses. The most fun part about it is learning new things about the lift and watching Aaron and Shae make progress with Jack.
Peace, Love, and Happiness,
