At AJi, we believe that patient experience is a crucial aspect of healthcare design. The interior design of a healthcare facility plays a significant role in shaping how patients feel during their time there. It must be comforting and welcoming, reducing anxiety and creating a sense of calmness.

A good healthcare interior design ensures that patients feel safe and secure during their treatment, enhancing the overall patient experience. It also considers the comfort of family and friends who may be visiting or supporting the patient. The ambiance of the space affects the mood of patients, and therefore, it is essential to create an environment that promotes healing.

Here are some key factors that an interior designer should consider when designing for patient experience:

•  Comfort: The interior designer should aim to create a comfortable environment for patients, which can be achieved by selecting appropriate furniture, lighting, and materials. Soft lighting, comfortable seating, and calming colors are just a few examples of how a designer can create a relaxing environment.
  
  

•  Accessibility: An interior designer should ensure that the healthcare facility is accessible to all patients, regardless of their physical abilities. This may include designing spaces that are wheelchair accessible or creating spaces that can be easily navigated by those with visual or auditory impairments.
  
  

•  Privacy: Patients value their privacy, and an interior designer should prioritize this when designing healthcare facilities. This may include designing private consultation rooms, creating sound barriers to reduce noise levels, and ensuring that patient information is kept confidential.
  
  

•  Safety: Patient safety is paramount, and an interior designer should consider this when selecting materials and designing spaces. For example, slip-resistant flooring can reduce the risk of falls, and rounded corners on furniture can prevent injuries.
  
  

•  Nature and Biophilic Design: Including nature elements in interior design like plants and sunlight, which could improve a patient's well-being and satisfaction.

Overall, an interior designer should create a welcoming environment that reduces patient stress, promotes healing, and enhances the overall patient experience.
