FUTUREWARD’S CARE CORE

Technology, summarized.

What 100 years of progress looks like.

Medical Industry
Most Industries
Uh oh.
“I guess I’ll have to take this back”

Better Outcomes
Happier Staff
Greater Efficiency
Capability of Technology
Time

Because medical work is so dependent on both information and space,
No project that seeks to explore the promise of new medical technology can afford to ignore the spaces in which those technologies will work

Findings from the Procedure Cart Project
It can take a practitioner an hour to find the materials for a 20 minute procedure.
Humans are bad at the mechanical task of keeping centralized resources stocked
Infection control issues arise with centralized resources.

Integrated Nursing Stations

Increase in usable space
Large reduction in shared surfaces

Electronic ICU

Life-System Equipped Bed

Large part of patient’s despair
is caused by a loss of locus of control

Pulled out during emergency
Facing wall for remote visitation
Standard configuration
Moved towards window
