“The room of the future from the patients’ eyes” – Hack the Hospital 2

Open roundtable with representatives and families from the Sant Joan de Déu, Sick Kids and GOSH around pediatric patients and hospital rooms

November 8, 2022
6 PM CET (Barcelona) / 5 PM GMT (London) / 12 PM EDT (Toronto)
Free event – Zoom

Join our one hour special roundtable conversation starring 3 pediatric patients and their families who have experienced long-term stays at the leading pediatric hospitals of Sant Joan de Déu (Barcelona), Great Ormond Street (London), and SickKids (Toronto)!

This will be a conversation between 3 families and 3 professional representatives (one from each hospital) to discuss what is it to experience a long-stay in a hospital room? And how important are user experience, psychology, innovation and the spatial considerations when designing in a pediatric healthcare environment.

We’d like the roundtable participants to think about:
How did a long stay the hospital room make them feel?
How could hospital rooms be improved to make the children and family stay a much better experience?

This roundtable sets the context of HACK THE HOSPITAL 2, a hackathon designed to enable discussion and development of ideas to improve the experience of children, young people and families who need to stay in-hospital.

This year’s edition sets out to explore the design of the hospital room of the future and welcomes participants specialized in the areas of #healthcare, #tech, #business and #creativity.

Join us – open call.
