Design e eletrônica no projeto de produtos assistivos

Abstract

A cadeira de rodas promove mobilidade a pessoas com deficiência. Em alguns casos os assentos causam danos à saúde do usuário por pressão concentrada em pontos específicos. Para avaliação destes produtos assistivos são necessárias ferramentas, atualmente, importadas e de custo elevado. Assim, apresentam-se estudos e análises para o design de um sistema de mapeamento de pressão de contato. Os circuitos foram montados com componentes de fácil aquisição, conexão USB e software portátil. Acredita-se que este sistema possa se tornar uma importante ferramenta para o design, uma vez que permite aferir e atestar produtos com interface ao corpo humano, principalmente dos assentos personalizados para cadeiras de rodas.

The wheelchair promotes mobility for disabled people. In some cases the seats may harm the user's health by concentrated pressure on specific parts of the body. Expensive tools that are currently imported are necessary in order to evaluate these products. Thus, studies and analysis for the design of a pressure mapping system are presented. The circuits were assembled with easily found components, USB connection and portable software. It is believed that this system may become an important tool for the design, since it allows to assess and certify products with the human body, especially the custom wheelchair seats.
