Real-time tracking, organ transport, TRIZAbstract
This research presents the development of a prototype for organ transport that enables real-time tracking of location and temperature. A comparison with existing prototypes and commercial products highlights the disadvantage of high costs associated with current solutions. The TRIZ methodology was employed to streamline prototype development, recognized in the scientific literature for its efficiency in accelerating prototyping processes. Results from equipment testing and their respective replicas are presented, along with recommendations for scaling the prototype further.
