What Doctors Say:

"With the experience of the HeartFX pod, we have the opportunity as clinicians to truly, in as realistic a manner possible, actually experience the symptoms that our patients are complaining of."
Dr. Mark Dunlap, Associate Chief Cardiology, VA Medical Center, Cleveland

 

"I have studied MS and treated patients for 35 years, but Step Inside MS has taken my understanding to a new level."
Dr. David W. Brandes, Medical Director of the Northridge Multiple Sclerosis Center - Assistant Clinical Professor of Neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles

 

"The more that a doctor can personalize and internalize the symptoms and think about them, it can only be helpful and add to the empathy a physician can have for a patient. It’s not just for doctors, it’s good for nurses and other health personnel. Unless doctors are thinking of heart failure as an etiology, it certainly gets underestimated. I think it’s a great teaching tool.”
Dr. Marrick Kukin, director of the Congestive Heart Failure Program at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital, New York

 

"I think the MS simulator will help aid other physicians, my colleagues, in helping them to know what their MS patients are experiencing."
Dr Vincent F. Macaluso, Neurologist and MS Patient

 

"I absolutely would recommend this simulation to my colleges and especially recommend it to primary care physicians who may not see the patients when they are that ill, which is how I seen them, when they are much more sick. The trick is to identify patients early, treat early, and even to try and prevent heart failure."
Dr. Ileanda Pina, Professor of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University

Walk-Up Medical Clinic

Architecture - Industrial Design - Human Factors Study - Materials Technology

Background

Health Care accessibility is a chronic problem within the U.S. from both a cost and insurance standpoint, as well as ease of access. Our challenge was to create a walk-up medical clinic design with a built-in digital medical record system and refrigerated pharmaceutical storage–while meeting HIPPA compliance standards. These clinics focus on treating minor illnesses by nurse practitioners and offers health and wellness services to customers 12 months or older at an affordable fee.

Objectives

  • Design a 150-square foot modular clinic design that could be deployed in airports, grocery stores and pharmacies
  • Design the proper tools so that a HCP can provide a patient with a high quality of care and privacy
  • Isolated HEPPA air filtration handling system
  • Digital communication and registration system, secure temperature-controlled pharmacological storage, and was ADA and HIPAA compliant

Solution

We designed the clinic system so that it could be assembled in 12 hours by a two man team. The digital communications system was VOIP and HD video enabled so that a remote consult can occur. The clinic design is modular, clean, sleek, and modern yet did not feel temporary. Privacy glass, curtains, and sound abatement including active noise masking, provide a private and secure environment for patient comfort.

The nurse Practitioner who staffs the clinic has a work areas for doing data entry and intake interviews. All surfaces are antimicrobial and UV sanitizing lights bathe the clinic interior during off hours.

The exterior for the clinic has integrated digital signage and sign-in registration panels so that a patient can sign-in and be notified of wait times and receive a TXT message when they are ready to be seen. The entire clinic is locked and secured during off hours protecting information and pharmaceuticals inside.

The clinics are currently in trials throughout 5 US states.
