Our process
Background Patient falls are a common problem in hospitals globally. Falls can have serious physical, psychological and economic consequences for both patients and healthcare professionals. This issue has been recognised for many years and many strategies have been used to address it. However, fall rates remain high.

Focus group
Design framework Social and emotional comfort is our major goal. Rather than procedure, physical tools and space, we are ultimately aiming to change the social and emotional experience of a hospital room, to reduce patient falls. Our design is for a utopian future, 25 year later from now.
