Ambient Experience Department Design

Extending the boundaries

Our concept of a patient-friendly, people-focused hospital environment is applicable beyond the confines of the imaging suite. Ambient Experience Design is today being applied to entire departments, entire floors and even entire facilities.


Making it happen
Why should the healthcare experience be cold, impersonal and uncomfortable? Logically, it should not.


By seamlessly integrating architecture and technology, an Ambient Experience environment inherently addresses the key needs of each of its inhabitants – comfort, contact, personalization and workflow. These benefits, now seen in many imaging suites worldwide, are based on features that can be scaled to meet your needs.


Our Ambient Experience Design consultants are uniquely skilled at integrating solutions with your local architecture and construction plans to address such diverse areas such as:

 

  • Reception/waiting areas
  • Patient rooms
  • Nurses’ stations
  • Staff lounges/offices

 

We create what we call “experience maps” to identify the paths and interactions of each patient, family and staff member, to then determine how best to improve the experience. See how Ambient Experience Design Consultancy can assist you.
