Abstract: A participatory mindset is beginning to change how new healthcare facilities are being planned and designed today. The activity is changing from a focus on the design of buildings to encompass collaboration with all the relevant stakeholders (patients, visitors, doctors, nurses, cleaning staff, etc.) in designing for future healthcare experiences. I will show and describe some of the new tools and methods for design and research that are being explored to inform and inspire co-creation on a large scale.
