Abstract
It is critical for medical systems to reduce waste from medical resources. One of the reasons why patients with chronic diseases create waste is that they often forget to take their medicine. Patients pay attention to the time and amount of medicine to take to different degrees. This negligence often affects when they take medicine or preventive drugs. The amount of medicine is also different for different patients. The evaluation model in this study utilizes the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to obtain the degree (weight) of each evaluation item that is determined by each patient. After that, a more objective overall shape can be determined depending on the individual’s preference. In this study, the proposed package design serves as the case study. The results indicate that the evaluation model is feasible, and the research results of the case study are also valuable for follow-up designers. The design of a pillbox for patients with chronic diseases should consider the safety of taking the medicine; that is, the right person should take the right medicine at the right time at the right dose. Therefore, evaluating the feasibility of the pillbox for patients with chronic diseases is very important. The proposed evaluation model applies to products that have different compositions. Follow-up researchers or designers can apply this approach to different case designs.
Highlights
The idea of a conceptual design phase was proposed by Pahl and Beitz in Germany and it has been viewed as the cornerstone of any conceptual design task
Gielisch proposed and evaluated four different product development approaches, which include the systematic approach of Pahl and Beitz (SAPB), theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ), concurrent engineering (CE), and lean development (LD)
The results indicate that building up this model can assist in the rationalization of the design process, reduce the misplay in the assessment, enhance the efficiency of the strategic decision, and increase the success rate of new product development [17]
Summary
The idea of a conceptual design phase was proposed by Pahl and Beitz in Germany and it has been viewed as the cornerstone of any conceptual design task. The purpose is to support the evaluation of students’ overall achievement and to create systematic design courses for download learning This approach considered the process of generating new ideas and it allows people to carry out protocol studies during a limited amount of time and it is very time-consuming [4]. There are many objectives in the design evaluation, such as aesthetics (overall effect, shape, color, decoration, etc.), pleasure, safety, processability, etc., which are difficult to achieve by traditional quantitative analysis methods To this end, it is necessary to introduce linguistic variables to describe and solve problems, and use fuzzy mathematics to quantify the fuzzy information for quantitative evaluation [16]. Other scholars have emphasized that in addition to determining the degree of DR implementation based on customer satisfaction, we should consider organizational conditions such as cost factors and technical difficulties to make economic, customer-friendly best decisions
