“…The design of frameworks is a fundamental concept intended to serve as a guide for the construction of a structure that leads us to the most optimal solution to a problem. The number of possible scenarios or frameworks that could be generated in each situation was explained to them; this was exemplified with a permutation combinatorial calculation analysis, as we show in figure 13 [41]. Figure 13.…”

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.

“…Figure 13. Image showing the combinatorial calculations [41], exemplifying only seven hierarchies with seven types of users, generating an estimate of 1,716 possible Frameworks, and calculating the seven users with eight different stages of the patient's health, which would yield 3,432 possible frameworks.…”

The medical device design process has a responsibility to define the characteristics of the object to ensure its correct interaction with users. This study presents a proposal to improve medical device design processes in order to increase user acceptance by considering two key factors: the user hierarchy and the relationship with the patient’s health status. The goal of this study is to address this research gap and to increase design factors with practical suggestions for the design of new medical devices. The results obtained here will help medical device designers make more informed decisions about the functions and features required in the final product during the development stage. In addition, we aim to help researchers with design process didactics that demonstrate the importance of the correct execution of the process and how the factors considered can have an impact on the final product. An experiment was conducted with 40 design engineering students who designed birthing beds via two design processes: the traditional product design process and the new design process based on hierarchies (proposed in this study). The results showed a significant increase in the user acceptance of the new birthing bed developed with the hierarchical-based design process.
