Development of an integrative process model for universal design and an empirical evaluation with hospital patient apparel

FEA Consumer Needs Model: 25 Years Later

“…Seven papers presented models integrating the Lamb and Kallal’s (1992) FEA Model into a new model. Park (2014) incorporated the FEA Model into an integrative process model for universal design applied to hospital gown design in her study. Smith and Stannard (2016) developed a new model incorporating needs for authenticity in historic reenactors’ clothing.…”

“…The FEA Model provides scholars with a starting point for their research that may be modified or integrated with other theories as part of a complementarity of theories (Nagasawa, Hutton, & Kaiser, 1991) that enriches scholarship in apparel design. This is evidenced by how it was successfully integrated with universal design (Park, 2014) and the statistical modeling of Hwang, Chung, and Sanders (2016) and Perry (2017a, 2017b) that incorporated FEA and FEA-similar criteria. In addition, focus on a broadly defined consumer at the nucleus of the FEA Model by Lamb and Kallal was forward thinking.…”

Inclusive Design Process for User-Centered Wearable Products: A Case Study on Lumbar Support for Older Women with Chronic Low Back Pain

“…The IDP-UW expands on Park's (2014) framework by subdividing its stages and incorporating additional steps to provide a more detailed and actionable guide for inclusive design. Park's model outlines three broad stages, including user needs assessment, creative exploration and prototyping, along with evaluation and confirmation.…”

“…To apply the inclusive design principles, we developed a 7-step Inclusive Design Process Model for User-Centered Wearable Products (IDP-UW) (Figure 1), building on Park's (2014) model. In our process model, we expanded Park's 3-step process to seven steps to elaborate the inclusive design stages and clarify the opportunities for user involvement and expected outcomes at each step.…”

“…However, only a limited number of studies have proposed such guidelines for applying this user-centered concept to wearable products. For instance, emphasizing the recursive nature of the design process, Park (2014) proposed a three-stage integrative process model in a circular structure. The framework centers on Lamb and Kallal's (1992) functional-expressive-aesthetic (FEA) user needs model, with seven key principles of universal design arranged in the outer layer.…”
