Re-Inventing the Patient Room

Thesis

Lack of stimulants and natural elements in the hospital environment is causing elderly patients’ mental state to decline at a faster rate. According to the New York Times, “some of the most interesting research on the way hospitals are built examines the role of nature to promote healing. When it comes to recovering from illness, the more nature the better. But too often patients and physicans find themselves cooped up in dim rooms and sterile hallways with little access to natural light or views of nature: too much concrete, not enough jungle.”

Implementing stimulating elements would work to engage the patient and slow the decreasing mental decline.

Creating a sector in the hospital that is dedicated to elderly patients would allow them to recover and heal in a space that incorporates biophillia, natural light and stimulating audio to slow the rate of mental deterioration.
