Interactive Body Balance System (IBAS) Design

Abstract:

Balance disorders which are widespread among old people can be caused by different reasons such as diseases or accidents. Vertigo and falling down are some of the common symptoms. Various products and equipments have been presented in order to diagnose and treatment this kind of disorders. Computerized dynamic posturography system is one of the most popular equipments which is used for diagnosing and measuring human balance and converts them to numerical data output. In order to provide a new and efficient product, this article present a novel design under the title of: IBAS:Interactive Body Balance System by making use of scenario-based design (interaction design). Its ultimate goal is to improve treatment process and make progress in the balance abilities of the users. Also, designing and producing the product in the country considering the Iranian users needs and production limitations brings about a localized production and consequently, a dramatic cost reduction.
