Machistas, sexistas, sordas o ciegas: cuando las herramientas solo sirven a quien las diseña
El diseño de nuestro entorno sigue teniendo un sesgo racial y de género que, frecuentemente, está hecho a la medida del hombre blanco de mediana edad. Oxímetros calibrados para pieles claras, dispositivos de asistencia cardíaca ajustados para varones o sistemas de reconocimiento facial que fallan ante ojos rasgados son algunos ejemplos.

D&T9: Kaitlyn Debiasse, Human Factors
Kaitlyn Debiasse, GSA Product Design Lecturer, took this week’s Design and Technology event. She spoke about human factors, inclusivity, and personalisation within design.
Most products are designed for 50th percentile male of average size and weight. An example of this is cars. For those who do not fall within this small percentage are much more likely to be injured of even killed. In fact, any seatbelt wearing female in a vehicle has 73% greater odds of being seriously injured – yet nothing has been done about it. This really annoys me, why should our lives be risked just because we aren’t of average male size? Why are we still designing for the 50th percentile male? What about females? Children? People who are above and below the average male? An average man is not an average human!

Generative Design Study – Walking Aid
It´s is great how generative design proposals look closer to Nature – organic shapes. Is there any specific reason for that?
For one of the final taught units on the MSc Industrial Digitalisation programme at PrintCity MMU, I was required to perform and document a Generative Design Study using Autodesk Fusion 360 and its Generative Design Workspace.
This was a really rewarding study, having never personally used Fusion 360 before September 2020, let alone exploring the Gen-Design component of the software.
I chose to explore the design of a common medical device – the four-legged Walking Aid.
Device abandonment reported in literature relates to a user’s needs not being met, aesthetically, socially or physically – often leading to complications such an increase in upper extremity joint stress.
Of interest is the potential to factor into the design exact user measurements, such as height and elbow flexion angle, to produce a user centred solution. The resulting design could be produced in a ‘production line of one’, utilising increasingly accessible Additive Manufacturing technology.
