This year’s HCD gave us much to think about—and Aneetha McLellan, our Executive Director of JSI Health + A+D, shares her top takeaways:
• Designing with, not just for, patients, staff, and communities ensures every voice is heard—and every need is met.
• AI is no longer on the horizon—it’s here, helping designers make faster, more informed decisions that accelerate workflow.
• Med-psych environments are on the rise, challenging designers to create spaces that reduce stigma and support the complex intersection of mental and physical well-being.
• Ambulatory care is expanding fast—demanding flexible, tech-integrated spaces that meet patients where they are.
Each insight reinforces what we showcased in our booth: design that listens, adapts, and supports every step of the care journey. Revisit the experience: https://bit.ly/4oiFYzG
