SimTigrate Designs the Future of Healthcare

SimTigrate Designs the Future of Healthcare

The SimTigrate Design Lab explores the full ecology of designed systems that impact our health and wellbeing, including the built environment, services, devices, and policy in partnership with key stakeholders. We bring our 14-year history of working with our researchers, organization, and end-users to this collaborative process to help implement evidence-based designs and solutions.

What We Do

We evaluate existing research, conduct our own research, test proposed solutions in simulated medical environments, and translate those solutions for broad applications. We develop tools, data sets, and evidence that influence building design, health information technology, and healthcare products.

Working with architects, engineers, medical personnel, and others, we help find ideas for spaces and environments that are easier to navigate, safer for providers, more comfortable for patients and more collaborative for providers.

Our current research is focused on Design for Safety and Infection Control, IEQ for Health, Design for Aging, Teamwork and Collaboration, and Healthy Communities.

Our Network and Partners

SimTigrate’s network consists of many interconnected health systems, nonprofits, academic partners, and architecture firms. SimTigrate is one of the main research labs at Georgia Tech’s College of Design. We are also affiliated with the Institute for People and Technology (IPAT) and the Neuro Next Initiative.
