This paper presents our continuing work to develop methods to exchange product knowledge in the semantic level in the CAD/CAE domains. We present an approach based on a shared ontology, in which a higher level of ontologies are shared among lower levels of ontologies. Key mapping strategies, such as Equivalency, Attribute Similarity, Composition Similarity, and Inheritance Similarity are defined to map concepts and properties defined in a product design domain and an assembly simulation domain. In addition, a Bridge Ontology is designed to store information obtained from mapping processes and construct a link between different knowledge repositories. An Ontology Mapping Application (OMA) which brings together all these elements has been designed and implemented. It is a Java-based application that allows the user to load source and target ontologies, calculate concept and property similarities between them, display the mapping results, and output a corresponding Bridge Ontology.

This research aims to quantify the current market size for wearable technology, and determine why this market has struggled over the past decade. These are products which are worn on the body and enhanced using electronics. Forecasts have been made as to how this wearable technology is likely to develop in terms of market size and product design or function. It is predicted that in five years the wearable technology market will be several times larger than it is currently, and entertainment devices will overtake fitness to become the largest product category. Medical devices will be used to reduce healthcare costs by monitoring patients within their own home and wearable technology will allow businesses to improve customer relations and productivity.

Knowledge Classification

Based on the features of distributed knowledge resources environment and taking knowledge mobility in modern design as its supporting goal, this essay focuses on research into knowledge classification systems and representation models of product design. It proposes a six-dimension design knowledge classification system and a cubic knowledge representation model operating in an environment of distributed resources. The six dimensions of design knowledge classification are discipline, product, resource unit, application process, expression pattern, and design domain respectively. Accordingly, the six planes of the cubic knowledge representation model are, therefore, the discipline plane, expression pattern plane, resource unit plane, product plane, application process plane, and design domain plane, clearly represent the application profiles of design knowledge in six dimensions. The six-dimension design knowledge classification system and cubic model are applied to fluid simulation implicit knowledge (expert knowledge) as a real case, and are the basis upon which an application system of fluid emulation expert knowledge service is developed. The design knowledge classification system and representation model proposed in this essay are the theoretical foundations for knowledge flow model development in modern product design and the construction of knowledge management systems for modern design platforms.

How to design and test the most effective and secure wireless medical device connectivity applications that will provide the true mobility experience that is needed in the 2018 healthcare marketplace. Today’s medical devices will need to be connected to provide the data to the electronic medical record. This connectivity will be either real time or on a non real time basis. In either case; the majority of this data transfer will move toward a wireless medium from a legacy wired connection. The following will discuss best practices for wireless network design based upon application requirements; but also the protection of any data regarding cybersecurity requirements. The author has over three decades of medical device knowledge sense but also two decades of wireless and security integration knowledge sense. The take away is to understand the best practices and how to apply this to product design and the overall enterprise implementation into the healthcare ecosystem of connected devices.

Product Design Process

This article presents a comparative analysis of birthing beds, using two different design processes to realize if one improves user satisfaction by improving the design process. We present a comparative study between the traditional product design process (consumer product design) and the new design process based on hierarchies (proposed in this study), which improves the final design and increases user acceptance. The study focuses on pointing out the importance of a new design process for medical devices, which can improve the characteristics of the product design and thereby increase user satisfaction. The main contribution of this new process focuses on showing medical device designers the importance of considering the hierarchy of users around a medical product, considering the fluctuation of the patient's health status since depending on the progression of the disease, the patient needs the attention of various users. In turn, final users need to solve specific problems in each phase, and design needs to be prepared for each user's particular needs around the birthing bed and the patient.

The health care system around the world, both in developed and developing countries, is struggling with the problem of managing the provision of health care in conditions of limited resources. The availability and use of various medical equipment at all levels of the healthcare system were emphasized for the efficient and high-quality provision of services. The main purpose of this review article is to assess the availability and use of medical devices and identify the registered causes affecting the availability and use of medical devices in healthcare institutions.

This is a “concept” paper. It explores the potential usages of interactive tabletops and surfaces in product design. Interactive tabletops and surfaces are a family of display technologies coupled with sensors that enable a more natural approach for interacting with computers. Previous research demonstrates the many possible uses for interactive tabletops and surfaces in design domain through several applications. This paper explores the potential of this technology to enhance the performance of designers and design groups. This paper highlights the benefits of interactive tabletops and surfaces in design through discussion of different potential applications and their possible advantages. The methodological approach for developing interactive tabletops and surfaces application for design has been presented and supported through a case study. Through the proposed approach we aim to gain a better understanding of practical challenges that need to be considered when integrating interactive tabletops and surfaces technology into a design office.
