SimTigrate = Simulation + Integration

The SimTigrate Design Center is an interdisciplinary research center at the College of Design that promotes health through rigorous design research and innovation. It explores the full ecology of designed systems that impact our health and wellbeing, including the built environment, services, devices, and policy, in partnership with key stakeholders. We bring our decades of history of working with our researchers, organization, and end-users to this collaborative process to help implement evidence-based designs and solutions.
We develop tools, processes, data sets, and evidence that allow simultaneous design of the built environment, health IT, and equipment. We build these capabilities for students, professionals, and organizations, which allows us to predict and optimize outcomes and substantially decrease the cost and risk of innovation.
 

The SimTigrate Design Center is structured to:

• Analyze problems, policies, and/or proposed designs;

• Conduct evidence evaluation, lab research, and field research;

• Model and simulate solutions;

• Facilitate rapid prototyping and decision-making using problem analysis, evidence, and simulation.
