Healthcare Design of the Future Showcase 2020

The Healthcare Design of the Future is an interactive multidisciplinary workshop class that discusses the basis of healthcare design and its future trends. Craig Zimring and Herminia Machry taught students to empower people living with Mild Cognitive Impairment and their care-partners through innovative healthcare designs.

Nine student teams (their final projects linked below) focused on everyday life and healthcare experiences and collaborated with current SimTigrate Design Lab research.
