Healing Spaces: The Science of Place & Wellbeing

Description:

You’re probably wearing a fitness or health tracker. Can we use these trackers to glean real-time health outcomes? What if we pair these personal stress monitors with IoT devices measuring environmental variables like temperature, humidity, light, sound, air quality and CO2? Will we have a clearer picture linking people’s health responses to their surroundings? Dr. Sternberg’s recently published work is influencing how we design offices and informing smart & connected buildings of the future, in which human health, wellbeing and performance are optimized through design. This work applies to all building types, from offices and healthcare facilities to homes and schools. Glimpse a future in which your personal space will instantly and automatically respond to your personal needs.
