Video of the award-winner Hospital Bed Design by Onio

Prakash Khanzode, director of technology and innovation at Onio, and the design research team spent two months in 15 hospitals around the country, examining beds and talking to over 100 doctors and patients before coming back to the drawing board to design the bed. The result is an ergonomic bed with affordable price for average hospitals.

“Onio believes that any innovation today, needs to be built upon the careful study of four things - Market Dynamics, deep User Insights, evolving Social trends and Technology (MUST). This award for the hospital bed design strengthens the power of Onio’s design methodology” says Manoj Kothari, the Principal Strategist and Founder director of Onio.

Important features:

The final output has been suitably designed keeping in mind the Indian Ergonomic parameters for patients, doctors and hospital staff, along with keeping to the European Standards of Safety and Performance.

The mechanism has been simplified, and uses less metal, for easy adjustments of height, tilt, back support and leg rest postures.

It has also been optimized with a new easy-swing-type side support for quick and easy setting. The bed encompasses a comprehensive system which provides for holding arrangements of IV fluid infusion, Infusion pumps, Oxygen cylinder, Urine bags, food tray, call bell, record holders etc.

The high grade lockable castors provide smooth mobility, with noiseless and jerk-less transportation of patients.

The above mentioned features in combination with aesthetically pleasing colors, that reduce ‘hospital stress’, designed with the current possible manufacturing facilities, promises Indian hospitals well-designed furniture at an affordable price.
