Abstract

The development of portable vaporizer for Thai Traditional Medicine Clinical Practices has 3 objectives: 1) to study the vaporizer control in Thai Traditional Medicine Clinical Practices; 2) to design a portable vaporizer for Traditional Thai Medicine Clinical Practices, and 3) to transfer the knowledge and evaluate acceptance of inventing portable vaporizer control in Traditional Thai Medicine Clinical Practice.  that can control the operation of the device  automatically via mobile applications and on the device complied with the Ministry of Health standard. The temperature control has 2 working modes, (1) 30 minutes sauna 2 times for 15 minutes and recess for 5 minutes and (2) 30 minutes sauna  3 time for 10 minutes and recess for 3 minutes. The second part contains a cylindrical marquee designed according to ergonomic design principles with diameter of 100 and 110 centimeter height supporting a sitting position. The structure is made of stainless steel that can be disassembled. which are suitable for outdoor uses. The sample group from traditional Thai medical personnel working in pilot hospitals in the project of Traditional Thai and Alternative Medicine were 38 alternative physicians. From the experiment testing the operation of the steam device model 1 for 10 times, it was found that the portable vaporizer can control the temperature with average values between 40 to 42.42 degrees Celsius. Moreover, for the experiment using the steam model 2 for 10 times, it was found that it can control the temperature with average values between 40 to 42.39 degrees Celsius. For the acceptance assessment results, it was found that the efficiency of portable vaporizer yields satisfaction at high level (  4.18), with usability a total average level of acceptance at great level (  4.20)
