Our objective was to simulate the task of nurses operating the patient transfer device(test bed #4) in a digital human modeling software called Jack and analyze how the new and improved device is more efficient and causes less strain on people operating it. My colleagues and I have successfully met out objective by collecting data on both the traditional patient transfer device and the fluid power one. The data we received proved that the fluid power device is much more efficient and creates less stress on the caregiver who operates it. Our faculty and graduate student that we were working with were pleased with what we gathered and I am grateful to be given the opportunity to do research with them and for CCEFP for providing me with experience on how to conduct research and understanding how important fluid power is in todays industries.
One thing i will take away from this research experience is how to effectively collaborate with people in different areas of study and being able to communicate in a language we both can understand. Also, I am very excited to have been able to conduct research and be apart of something so important that can have a positive impact on someone else's life.
I would like to thank the awesome people at CCEFP, Purdue University, NSF, as well as NC A&T for allowing me to be apart of such great organizations. I'm so grateful and thankful to be given such a wonderful opportunity. In the near future I plan on conducting more research and hopefully working along with CCEFP and NSF to help make something else in this world better.
