This project addresses the persistent fatigue and discomfort faced by hemodialysis patients during long treatment sessions. Recognizing the physical and emotional toll, the design proposes an innovative weighted dry water therapy chair-bed. Centered on ergonomic principles, the solution ensures optimal posture, pressure distribution, and relaxation. The design features adjustable components, including a movable headboard, customizable footbox, and adaptable armrests, making it versatile for diverse body types and medical requirements. The resulting prototype demonstrates technical feasibility and embodies a patient-centered philosophy, aiming to transform the dialysis experience into one that is dignified and therapeutic. By creating a deeply relaxing environment, the chair-bed seeks to improve the quality of life for patients undergoing frequent, stressful treatments. The graduation document details the entire process from research and material exploration to prototyping and final outcome. Ultimately, this work showcases how comfort-focused interventions can humanize clinical environments and provide significant physical and emotional relief in chronic care settings.
