Teri Lura-Bennett, Lead Interior Designer at Johns Hopkins Health System and a registered nurse on how to reduce those incessant beeping noises in the hospital space. "I have an Apple Watch and when I'm driving it will tap me when it's time to turn, and it would be as simple as that. A little tap and a visual code that says, room 422,"  Says Teri about a possible tech solution to the beeping noises problem. This and more on what it's like to be a healthcare designer and a nurse on today's episode of Healthcare Interior Design 2.0 - The Lightning Round!

Hosted by Porcelanosa, Healthcare Interior Design 2.0 explores a field in the midst of a profound shift. This isn't just about choosing paint colors or furniture; it's a deep, necessary conversation about the very spaces where healing happens. Each episode grapples with essential questions that sit at the unique intersection of art, medicine, and human well-being. We consider how to build environments that truly serve every person in a community, acknowledging the full spectrum of human diversity and need. The discussions are grounded in real-world application, moving from broad concepts to tangible details. You'll hear about specific challenges, like redesigning cancer care units to reduce anxiety, or selecting materials that resist infection without sacrificing beauty or sustainability. The podcast delves into how intentional design choices-from layout to lighting to acoustics-directly impact not only patients, but also the families who visit them and the clinical staff working long shifts. It’s a thoughtful examination of how compassion and curiosity can be built into the walls around us, making healthcare spaces more effective, inclusive, and humane. Tune in for a series that redefines what’s possible when we thoughtfully design for health.
