Palate
Challenge: How can I empower elderly patients by encouraging them to eat by creating an enjoyable interactive mealtime experience
Overview: The elderly are the most malnourished in hospitals and there is an opportunity to design a mealtime experience to encourage them to eat more. This is through occupational therapy and an interactive design. It allows and makes patients eating experience more enjoyable.
Goal: My aim for this project is about looking into the future of the mealtime experience and how it can influence a patient’s time in the hospital and help them on their healing journey. My design challenges how hospital mealtime will look like in the future.
