Panneling

By examining panelling I am aiming to introduce a more modular approach. Focusing on greater inclusively while optimising comfort for the patient this should also be a lot more cost effective for the public medical system. This methodology should also make the structure much more universal….or least provide a more universal basic structure which can then be adapted/customised to the patients individual requirements.

I was also inspired by an almost clip and lock structure. This would mean that instead of having varying sides there would be a basic back and front panel and the joining panels are interchangeable and simply lock into place. This should eliminate the need for hospitals to store piles of braces in different sizes and shapes but instead to have a stock of modular panels which they can pick and choose from and assemble to fit the patient. These panels can then be adjusted to custom fit the patient with little fuss.
