Katelin Gephart Project One Idea

Future of Healthcare
Katelin Gephart

For the first project I decided  to look into what the future of healthcare will look like. As this can be a broad topic with daily healthcare, health insurance, emergency services and hospitals I'm going to focus on hospitals for this project. The recent 21st center developments in a data driven culture and technology are allowing healthcare providers to better adjust their care methods to better treat patients. 

One such development is the use of robots in hospitals. They can be used to assist surgeons in surgery or do such menial tasks as delivering linens. 

Another development in hospitals is the focus on the design of the hospitals and how the layout and design of the hospita interior can lead to increased patient healthcare. This often involves designing spaces for hospital staff and doctors to congregate and examine patient results and also by designing communal patient spaces with more greenary. 

For this project I'll create a hospital scene and add in elements from my research about what is expected to be in hospitals of the future.
