Design for Health, a Consumer Perspective

Healing design blends the field of design with medicine in a truly remarkable manner and involves our personal interaction with our surrounding.

Our human senses—sight, sound, smell, touch and taste—allow us to know and enjoy our world. Our ability to heal, work, feel pleasure and communicate is directly related to our senses.

We must strive to eliminate abuse of our senses. We must create pleasing views, be sensitive with lighting and aware of material and furnishing selections as they impact our sense of touch.

Even our sense of tastes is a factor of design. This presentation takes us through a sensitivity journey of our personal experiences, sensations, memories of place in which we work, play live and celebrate.
