北理工设计学院“防止老人摔倒设计工作坊”课程取得良好成果
2017年6月6日，在美国旧金山州立大学设计学院Ricardo Gomes教授的指导下，参与北京理工大学设计与艺术学院“防止老人摔倒设计工作坊”的学生对本次课程的成果进行了汇报和展示，本次工作坊圆满结束。工作坊由邱越副教授协助主持，博士生孟雨可协助教学。
In Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) tutored by Prof. Ricardo GOMES from San Francisco State University, the Workshop of Fall Prevention for Aging in Place in China is perfectly ended on 2017.Jun.6th with final presentation of excellent work of every participant. The Workshop, together hosted by Prof.QIU Yue and assisted by doctoral candidate MENG Yuke, was supported by Industrial Design Department of BIT.
在本次工作坊中, Gomes教授讲授了“以人为中心”的设计策略和设计方法；带领学生们研究分析了中国老年人群特点及需求，有针对性地设计帮助他们避免摔倒、更好的融入现代生活的产品。19位学生分成5组，在两周内完成了大量的实践性工作，包括：调研和观察、定义设计对象、绘制故事版和描述场景、绘制思维导图和头脑风暴、提出问题和解决方案、作出原型进行测试、产品品牌设计。严谨的创新方法加之超大工作量的努力工作，同学们取得了令人满意的设计成果。
In the Workshop, Prof. Gomes gave lecture about human-centered design strategy and design methods, and guided students to study the elderly in China and design trolley to prevent them from falling. 19 students, separated into 5 groups, worked intensively and finished processes from research and observation to prototype and brand making in 2 weeks.

以下为五组同学不同的创新概念及设计作品。
Following introductions are concepts and work from each group.
设计项目一:
Project 1:
小组名称 (Group Name)：Fairy & Viruses
小组LOGO (Group LOGO)：
作品名称：Go Puppy
小组成员：李赛赛，汪军，赵思远，陈可昕
Product Name：Go Puppy
Group Members：LI Saisai, WANG Jun, ZHAO Siyuan, CHEN Kexin
Go Puppy以“家”和“小区散步道”为场景挖掘问题点，以老年人的孤独感为关键词。为了解决腿脚不便的老人遛狗问题以及稳定性问题而设计老年人推车。这个结合储物箱、铲粪器、安全防缠绕的磁力链接绳、手刹、三轮稳定的手推车设计，能够让腿脚不便的老人也能在爱犬的陪伴下在户外遛弯。同时可以在不弯腰的情况下清理宠物粪便。
Focusing on the keyword "loneliness" and the scenarios "home" and "neighborhood ", "Go Puppy" is to offer elders stability and convenience when they are accompanied by dogs. Combined with rope and tools, this trolley helps the elderly to walk the dogs easily and clean the feces without bending down.

作品名称：With U Walker
小组成员：黄文琦，辛杭，王蓓，王童童
Product Name：With U Walker
Group Members：HUANG Wenqi, XIN Hang, WANG Bei, WANG Tongtong
With U Walker助行器主要是为了帮助老年人在室内环境中的行走而设计。着重考虑应用于浴室的环境，能够适应洗浴的一系列需求。托盘和储物袋设计能够放置不同物品，它们可以拆卸下来，使得产品更加轻便。可旋转的坐板满足坐与立两种使用方式。“又”字造型的设计使得老年人在任何姿势下都有把手能够支撑，应用更广泛。

Project 3:
小组名称(Group Name)：Twins
作品LOGO(Brand LOGO):
作品名称：Twins
小组成员：师歌，祁欣，孙文婷，李筱璇
Product Name：Twins
Group Members：SHI Ge, QI Xin, SUN Wenting, LI Xiaoxuan
Twins是一款针对老年人户外室内两用的防摔倒手推车设计，分为车体、袋子、拐杖三部分。袋子挂在车体中间，两根拐杖分别插在车体左右两侧。当拐杖放置在车身上时，整个车是一个轻巧方便的手推车，老年人出门买菜或者娱乐时，可将东西放进袋子里推车出门。当老年人回到家中，因居住面积限制而无法使用手推车时，将拐杖取下可以将一根或两根拐杖同时在家中使用（两拐杖造型不同，可以两个老人共同使用，易于区分）。袋子的底座设置有升降装置，按下按钮底座上升，老年人无需弯腰便可将重物取出，避免了劳累和摔倒的可能。因为产品将手推车和拐杖完美融合，并且两根拐杖就像是一对双胞胎，所以取名为Twins，希望他能为老年人的生活增添一抹年轻的色彩。
Twins trolley helps elder both indoor and outdoor. Two crutches are designed to be used as handles of trolley and they can be used inside the house instead of trolley in small room. With a click on the button, the bag can be lifted automatically so elders can take their goods easily. The name Twins stands for the pair of crutches, with the meaning bringing youth to color the elders lives.
设计项目四：

作品名称：腋下支撑助立手推车 TROLLEY
小组成员：刘帅，凌小东，池雨峰
Product Name：TROLLEY
Group Members：LIU Shuai, LING Xiaodong, CHI Yufeng
机会点来自老人起坐困难。由于老年人腿部力量的薄弱，从床、沙发、坐便器上站起来对老年人是一件非常困难的事。以腋下拐杖为灵感来源，从腋下支撑起老人的身体，用汽弹簧来帮助老人轻松并富有安全感地起立，帮助四肢力量衰退的老人正常生活。
The concept comes from the fact, that elders share a common problem which is having difficulties to stand up because of the lack of ability to grasp and weakness of limbs, and current products, such as barrier-free handrail, require relatively higher strength. This trolley can oxster elder with gas spring and help them to live safely
