Several different project management applications helped keep the team on track throughout the project. The KangaMove team completed multiple design cycles in order to accommodate stakeholder feedback and create a device that improved the experience of all involved parties.
These tools allowed the KangaMove team to keep track of each design cycles feedback and incorporate it to create our final design.
Two pairs of linkages
Fallbacks
Too large, too heavy
Center pivot joint between linkage pairs had potential of inverting
Too many joints to lock and unlock manually
Didn't like the infant transfer bed idea
Single pair of linkages and a linear slider
Fallbacks
Unstable
Too much extension of linear slider
unreliable locking joint design
pivot points were too fluid, arm moved erratically
Improved version of Iteration II
Final Improvements
Locking pins at all pivot points
Single slider design
Ventilator tube mounts
Streamlined manufacturing
