2018 Breaking Through Competition
In its new conceptual design competition, Breaking Through, Healthcare Design challenged industry members to forget the usual rules and restrictions of healthcare design to answer the challenges they anticipate for the future of healthcare delivery. Forty-three teams submitted innovative design concepts. An elite jury of industry professionals selected two of those concepts to move on to the next stage of the competition.
Our two finalists presented their concepts in a general session during the 2018 Healthcare Design Expo & Conference in Phoenix. A team from HDR was voted the winner by attendees, taking home a $10,000 grand prize. Here, we present more details on the winning concept, as well as the other finalist concept presented on stage by a team from AECOM. Additionally, find links below to PDFs with details on all of the projects submitted to Breaking Through.
Winner:
Team: HDR
Project: MASH: Mobile Acute Services Hospital
The advances in medical knowledge, technologies, procedures, and treatments together with the increasing focus on wellness and preemptive care will be moving towards making the urban or metropolitan healthcare facility almost redundant. The single constant regardless of any advance in technologies, will, however, be disasters and catastrophic events. Our focus will be on the development of a future healthcare facility capable of responding to these events.
Finalist:
Team: AECOM
Project: Hello Care: Personalized Healthcare, Same-day Delivery
What if you could order your autonomous personalized healing environment online and have it delivered wherever you want—to your home, the woods, or a wellness community? Your modular healthcare space could support diagnostic and interventional procedures, sub-acute or transitional care, and wellness support. Through telehealth and robotics, you could receive all but the most intensive care in a place that’s comfortable for you, where family, friends, and community are available for support.
