Hospitals are meant to be the ultimate healing environment, yet often they are anything but. Overwhelming our senses with loud noises, bright lights, and clinical smells, this sensory overload can delay recovery and amplify pain. Patients in well-designed rooms recover faster and require less medication, so what if we could reimagine hospital spaces to better support healing for patients, families, and staff? Neuroaesthetics—the study of how our brains and bodies respond to aesthetic environments—paired with the latest sonic and immersive technologies, gives us tools to transform these spaces into environments that accelerate healing. This panel will explore elements such as light, biophilia, sound, and neuroarchitecture from an interdisciplinary, multisensory perspective.
