I wanted to further understand exactly trhe discomfort and mechanics of the device so I grabbed a few things from around my home to make a quick mock-up...
From this mock-up came my first design.
We were encouraged to use Vizcom to help render our sketches to give us both ideas on colorways and knew potential solutions.
Post x-ray technician critiques:
1. No metal in the way of the imaging
2. Re-adjust the positioning of the holder
3. Make the target much smaller
Back to the drawing board...
Disclaimer: Vizcom and procreate process used.
The conclusion:
The x-ray technician comments:
1. This design would create ease for both himself and the patient in the x-ray room.
2. The device would be so much more inviting to use.
3. The process would be more comfortable and efficient.
