A spotlight on two winning human-centered designs

 

Providing an optimal healing environment for ICU patients – Philip’s Critical Care Experience Suite

 

The Critical Care Experience Suite introduces the human experience into critical care, using the environment as an instrument to support healing and recovery. The dynamic intensive care atmosphere that the Critical Care Experience Suite delivers responds to both patient’s emotional and cognitive needs, as much as their physical needs. While ICUs are designed to stabilize the critically ill, the experience for patient’s is often overwhelming (in terms of sensory stimuli) and can take a toll on their mental and emotional recovery. The Philip’s Critical Care Experience Suite shapes better patient experiences through ‘dosing’ the right stimulus per stage of the patient’s recovery, while providing a smart environment that can be configured to various needs. Sometimes leading to delirium and long-term irreversible effects on the patient’s body and mind, conventional ICUs operate with a 24/7 energy intensive mode, whereas the Critical Care Experience Suite may make it possible to adjust intensity based on the patient’s stage of recovery. The flexibility offered by this design will result in less energy-intensive care delivery, with a faster and more effective recovery process. The Critical Care Experience Suite keeps the patient at the center of design and integrates a smart ecosystem of solutions. 

When you carefully listen to the minds and emotions of critically ill patients and care givers, a whole new world of values and priorities emerges. Designers, then, need to convert this complex environment and refresh its expression into a symbol of nurturing. This results in a solution ecosystem that can restore confidence and radiate familiarity. Designing artefacts of experience in healthcare can bring profound meaning into a designer’s life!”-

Providing virtual remote access and workflow capabilities in a secure environment – Philip’s Radiology Operations Command Centre (ROCC)

 

As radiology imaging networks continue to expand their services, they continue to experience technology and skill limitations. The Radiology Operations Command Center (ROCC) is a visualized imaging solution designed to bring imaging teams closer together while keeping them right where they are. The multimodality (MR and CT), vendor-neutral digital hub connects imaging experts at a central command center with technologists and onsite staff in locations across an entire enterprise for real-time, over-the-shoulder collaboration and support.

 

Powered by Philips’ proprietary, patented operational performance management technology, ROCC enables remote access to scanners across an imaging network. Its remote scanner connections are compatible with older imaging platforms, allowing customers to operationalize a ‘Hub and Spoke’ model for imaging within their current install base. ROCC enables multiple use cases such as virtual imaging assistance, virtual on-demand cross-training, and remote adjustment of imaging protocols for greater standardization. ROCC isn’t just an application, it’s a new way of working so that we are co-creating together with our customers to solve problems.
