Describe here your motivation for choosing this project

Hospital and waiting rooms can be stressful and uncomfortable for many patients, especially for children or people who need to stay for a longer period of time. Clinical healthcare environments are often designed mainly for medical efficiency rather than emotional comfort.

Research shows that the surrounding environment can influence patient well-being and recovery. Calming visual elements or familiar environments can help reduce stress and improve emotional comfort.

This project is motivated by the idea that technology can be used to create more comforting and supportive healthcare environments without requiring major physical changes. Immersive visual technologies may offer new ways to improve patient experiences during the waiting time for a medical appointment or hospitalization.

Provide here the problem you are tacking

Medical environments are often designed for medical efficiency rather than patient comfort, which can make them feel cold and impersonal. This can increase stress and anxiety for patients, especially due to unfamiliar surroundings and medical procedures. Research shows that calming visual environments or natural elements can help reduce stress and support recovery. However, many medical areas still lack accessible solutions to create more comforting and engaging environments for patients.

Detail here the objectives of this project

The main objective of this project is to explore how immersive projection technology can improve the emotional experience of patients (especially children) in medical environments.

The specific objectives of the project are:

• To investigate how hospital environments influence patient stress and recovery
• To explore existing technologies such as projection systems, immersive environments, and digital distraction therapy
• To develop a concept that transforms hospital rooms into calming and personalized spaces
• To reduce stress and anxiety for patients during hospitalization/waiting time
• To improve the overall patient experience through design and technology

The final goal of the project is to design a concept that can create a more comforting and supportive hospital environment, particularly for children and long-term patients.
