Cardboard Meets AI: Innovative Design Prototyping for Behavioral Health Spaces

How can AI help in designing care environments?

Price: Free

Can we use artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance interactive, hands-on mental health design mock-up exercises?

Could AI help us create more accurate design prototype mock-ups?

The answer is "yes", and this unique webinar will share the powerful design outcomes that can be achieved when artificial intelligence meets cardboard!

For years, the Stantec team has made hands-on, life-sized collaboration a key phase in developing designs, inviting professionals and end users to explore and give feedback to design ideas in real time.

Recently, their design experts explored an experimental design process that combines typical analog mockup with the power of generative AI. This webinar will share their process and explore application of this design concept for two care spaces focused on behavioral health.

See how this approach improves the quality and accuracy of the design, is fast and realistic, builds consensus, deepens stakeholder engagement, and democratizes the design process.

Stronger Together: Inside the Design Process for a Community Model of Behavioral Health Care

Person-centered care focusing on human-centered design.

Price: Free

In response to Washington Governor Jay Inslee’s plan to reform the state’s behavioral health system and improve access to care, an innovative and immersive programming and design process for several new community-based facilities was employed.

At the center of this new care model is a focus on human-centered design, providing spaces and support for patients to truly rehabilitate and prepare to re-enter the community.

This webinar will describe the design process of this unique project, merging the behavioral health expertise of BWBR with the local leadership of BCRA, working together with the Washington Department of Social and Health Services. See how they defined and developed a new model of care for community-based treatment for individuals involuntarily committed by a civil court order for inpatient mental health treatment.

Attendees will explore the benefits of community-based treatment, lessons learned (and applied) after 12 months of occupancy at the first facility completed, and gain insights gathered from surveying facility staff on successes and opportunities that can be applied in the three buildings still under construction.
