Using a series of comparative techniques, we prioritized characteristics and attributes associated to our project. This led us to a clear definition of the problems associated with the project and their respective importance. As a group we came to a clear consensus of our problem statement:
Our design objective is to develop a product that will assist in the CPR process which will provide patient benefit and safety. In order to achieve this, our design will focus on an increased oxygen concentration delivery, minimizing set-up time for the care provider, and creating an effective seal around the mouth and nose to provide a pathway for the oxygen to be delivered.
Below is an in depth look at how we arrived at our problem statement for this project.
