Situation

In the interdisciplinary working group Health Care Communication Design, connections are being explored between design, interior design and the healing process. In interior design, for example, integrating natural elements plays a crucial role. A corresponding ambiance is being realised in 2017 together with our research partner, the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Inselspital, the Bern University Hospital.
