Medical Forum / General / General / October 2006need some medical help
I am an industrial design major at Western Michigan University and a team of us was given an assignment by Styker medical. I need to know some information in order to create a functioning product. Please excuse my lack of medical knowledge, as this is my first venture into anything like this. Now down to business. These are the questions that I have: Are there certain things that are always checked by a doctor? (temperature, blood pressure, pulse, ect) - If so, how are these things checked? Are there ceratin areas of the body that are best to obtain vital information from? Any help on these quesitons would be wonderful. Also, if I have been too unclear, let me know. Again, I really dont know anything about medical terminology, so I apologize if I am not using the correct words.

If a doctor (I presume you mean a general practitioner) "always checked things" then it would become pretty hard to get to see a doctor, because they would be wasting their time on irrelevant checks. The standard differential diagnosis based on presentation of symptoms is the norm. I guess you're after a general diagnostic tool that covers many bases. You'll need to give a more detailed list of requisites of the company before you start out, since that's how it works in the real world. > Any help on these quesitons would be wonderful.

They already have an electronic device for blood glucose testing. Perhaps the electronic device would be similar to that device. I know that people that have kidney problems would buy the device since they have lots of problems related to electrolytes. Perhaps other items on a standard blood test could also be tested. I believe someone has already invented an electronic device that allows anyone to test their chol. levels. Jason |
