Analytics and Healthcare Design: A Multi-Pronged Approach to Design Analysis
Data analytics stands to have a profound impact on how design disciplines are woven together to solve the most complex problems facing the globe today. In the example of new hospital design, human-centered analytics can produce powerful insights and unlock empathy for users in the hospital space. Blending and visualizing several sources of quantitative and qualitative data draws out causality and informs decision making, aimed at improving the experience and performance of user groups. A multi-pronged approach to data analysis was used to measure the effectiveness of schematic changes made between rounds of simulation scenarios during participatory hospital design.
