What are bedside tables?
Bedside tables are prevalent in hospitals and
nursing homes and are a necessity for patients when
they need to eat food, read, or assist in other
activities. The table can also hold personal items
like medicine, cups, or assist nurses in their every
day care for the patients.
The Problem
Our customer, Rochester Regional Health Network
(RRHN), identifies several key problems with their
current day bedside tables. With the bedside tables
used in their hospitals, it’s difficult for
patients to eat and nurses to operate. This project
aims to improve current bedside tables to include
more convenient features. An existing prototype
exists in the Industrial Design (ID) department and
we aim to assist in the improvements for easy
mobility, height adjustments, and expanding the table
to increase surface area.

Table Parts
We identified and labeled the parts of the table so
that whenever a part of the table is referenced, everyone
will understand what part of the table we're actually
referencing.
