Abstract

This study delved into the foundational aspects of planning an experimental simulator for respiratory infection control technology. Utilizing this information, a design plan was proposed to replicate the environment of a regional emergency medical center. The challenges presented by infectious diseases, especially in emergency rooms, have prompted the development and testing of various infection control medical technologies. However, legal constraints prevent the demonstration of these technologies in real medical settings. Hence, there's a demand for simulation spaces to conduct experiments like performance verification. The proposed simulator aims to replicate an emergency medical institution for respiratory infection control technology experiments, facilitating testing in the developmental stage before practical application. The design plan, based on a spatial analysis of Seoul National University Hospital's emergency medical center, was outlined. Requests from research teams were gathered, and conflicting requirements were reconciled to form an integrated design plan. Considering the absence of a specific design plan for medical technology experiments in academic contexts, it is anticipated that this comprehensive spatial planning for infectious disease response and related medical experiments will serve as a valuable reference in the future.
