Sean Hughes, head of Design Consulting at Philips, recently talked about the areas of hospital environments that are ripe for new design, in an article on the Medical Devise and Diagnostic Industry website.
"You can think about a hospital — there’s the physical building itself . . then you might consider how a hospital actually connects and communicates with its patients," Hughes said.
The experience has to work for three people in all cases. You’ve got the patient, the healthcare professionals and the business people who run the hospital.
"So whenever we’re designing anything in the healthcare space, we try to take these three stakeholders’ perspectives into consideration so that we can create a win for everybody."
