This Industrial Design Thesis Project by Researcher Evi Hui aims to improve patient experience of comfort in palliative care. As Canada’s baby boomers continue to age, palliative care for seniors with terminal illnesses is becoming a greater priority. Research activities like observation, interview, role play, shadowing and a structured experience journey led to the insight that none of the furniture was actually designed for patients.
