Abstract :
Due to their using ear thermometer continuously, the doctors´ handling posture of ear thermometer has great effect on comfort index. The comfort index is determined by three factors that are the angle of the head with the body, the ear thermometer´s size, and the position of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Besides, the European and American aesthetic trend, living habits and medical products´ materials were also analyzed. And moreover, the ear thermometer form trend and the distinctness of different brands were investigated. Finally this ear thermometer is designed based on the users´ requirements.
