Light, sound, and material choices are increasingly understood as clinical variables in healthcare design, shaping regulation, agitation, and recovery for autistic patients, people with dementia, traumatic brain injury survivors, and anxious patients of every kind. As neuroinclusive and sensory-informed design moves into the mainstream, research on material health, biomimicry, and acoustics is offering healthcare designers more to explore when it comes to building environments that foster healthy outcomes for every kind of mind. This panel will explore the latest developments in sensory science and the practical strategies that designers are using to translate those findings into spaces that are soothing, healing, and welcoming for all.
