creating user friendly Healing Environments with adaptable lighting for senior citizens
International Conference on Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics, 2013Co-Authors: Christoph Nedopil, Cornelia Schauber, Sebastian GlendeAbstract:Identifying user-friendly use cases for technologies under development is often a difficult endeavor, especially when designing Healing Environments for the elderly, due to the absence of comparable technologies and the little technology experience in the target group. The principles of user centered design (UCD) have been successfully applied with professionals and lead users, but it is much more difficult for the development of Healing Environments like AAL-systems (ambient assisted living systems). This article describes the user-centered development of use cases for an innovative lighting system ("Guiding-Light") aimed at increasing the independence and well-being of senior adults.

Healing environment a review of the impact of physical environmental factors on users
Building and Environment, 2012Co-Authors: Emelieke Huisman, Ernesto Morales, Van Joost J Hoof, Hsm Helianthe KortAbstract:In recent years, the effects of the physical environment on the Healing process and well-being have proved to be increasingly relevant for patients and their families (PF) as well as for healthcare staff. The discussions focus on traditional and institutionally designed healthcare facilities (HCF) relative to the actual well-being of patients as an indicator of their health and recovery. This review investigates and structures the scientific research on an evidence-based healthcare design for PF and staff outcomes. Evidence-based design has become the theoretical concept for what are called Healing Environments. The results show the effects on PF and staff from the perspective of various aspects and dimensions of the physical environmental factors of HFC. A total of 798 papers were identified that fitted the inclusion criteria for this study. Of these, 65 articles were selected for review: fewer than 50% of these papers were classified with a high level of evidence, and 86% were included in the group of PF outcomes. This study demonstrates that evidence of staff outcomes is scarce and insufficiently substantiated. With the development of a more customer-oriented management approach to HCF, the implications of this review are relevant to the design and construction of HCF. Some design features to consider in future design and construction of HCF are single-patient rooms, identical rooms, and lighting. For future research, the main challenge will be to explore and specify staff needs and to integrate those needs into the built environment of HCF.

Research on Constructing a Healing Environment for the Street Spaces of a High-Density City: Using Street Spaces in Macao's Old City Area.
International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020Co-Authors: Lingchao Meng, Chun Zhu, Kuo-hsun WenAbstract:It is commonly recognized that street spaces in high-density cities are able to cause negative impacts in terms of residents’ physical and mental health. This research intends to investigate and analyze how residents use street spaces in a high-density city in order to construct a Healing environment for these street spaces. The research was conducted in Macao’s old town by using spatial syntax methods to define the research areas, and implemented on-site observations that evaluated the age of the residents in the space and the conditions of their usage of the space. The study collected data through expert grading and employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process to calculate the weight of each indicator in order to attain accurate and objective research outcomes. The evaluation results indicate that the current Macao street spaces are poor Healing Environments. By analyzing the effective factors for constructing a Healing environment in these street spaces, so that residents can get more space for Healing when they use it, the paper aims to provide a model example for those who are involved with city governance, planning and design.
