5 W's method
WHAT is our problem?
Due to the utilization of bulky materials in construction, it becomes difficult for the paramedics in emergency cases to carry the weight of the patient along with the weight of the equipment.
​
WHY does our problem need attention?
This minor problem leads to invaluable time being drained unnecessarily which could be lifesaving for the patients. Current solutions do not provide an effective way for transitioning patients between wheelchairs and stretchers.
​
WHEN does our problem occur?
The bulky and rigid construction of stretchers carried by paramedics makes their operation difficult in places where space is constrained.
​
WHERE does the problem occur?
Mobility of patients by paramedic personnel from ambulances to get immediate treatment is generally where the problem arises.
​
WHO are the people affected by this problem?
Everybody ranging from people experiencing any sort of physical constraints, paramedic and emergency personnel, to even their family members are all equally affected by this problem.
