The main idea of SAMY is to allow a customizable tray based on both the needs of a patient and the needs of the hospital. This is to create the most cost-efficient tray that hospital will need without having to buy expensive highly-technological device that is not needed. As a result, the skeletal component of the tray with basic diagnostic device is added onto the pole and an universal mounting system is created.

The mounting system will be a series of clamps that attach to the pole and can specifically holster medical devices so that they do not need to take up limited space used for medications and smaller devices in the storage area. These mounts would be ideal for holding systems such as an oxygen concentrator which are quite large but still vital to a patient’s healthcare. This also includes the addition of an IV pole/hooks to the top of the cart.

This is a tray that acts as a bedside table for the patient. Ideally, this tray could house several different pieces of technology that would be of use to the patient such as a USB port, lightning/micro USB cord, or call button. It should also be able to lock in both the horizontal and vertical positions so that it can be lowered to keep the space that the pole takes up to a minimum when the tray is not in use.

This is a lighting system that is integrated into the tray or otherwise in the pole. The idea of this motion sensing lighting system is to provide light to the appropriate patient in a localized area without having to disturb people in the peripheral. Also, the motion sensing capability allows patients to comfortably use the lighting system when the tray is being used with the option to keep it off at when not desired.

By creating a set of wheels with a locking system, the IV pole can be set to be either stationary and maneuverable. This increases the efficiency of the hospital by limiting the unnecessary round-trips taken by the nurse to grab all the diagnostic devices, IV pole, and other components that they need. Also, this allows patients to move around freely with the help of the IV pole without having to call for assistance every time something is needed.

This .dwg drawing of the IV bag holder, tested with a 3D printer printed in PLA, allows this IV component to hold IV bags on the shallow divots created. The main idea was to create an IV component that is compatible with the GCX Solution skeletal pole that can be mass produced with ease. This component can successfully hold 4 IV bags which is ideal for a standardized hospital setting.
