SPX Talks: The Impact of Environment on Patient Experience
Watch the replay of our SPX Talk in English on 21 May 2025 with Marta Ribas Escolà, design researcher and expert in healthy spaces, on the impact of environment on Patient Experience. The session was moderated by Rui Patricia, SPX Board Member.
Have you ever felt uncomfortable in a cold, sterile hospital? What about a calm, well- designed space that makes you feel safe? PX isn’t just about what happens—it’s about where it happens. Research shows hospital design, noise levels, waiting room comfort, and colors can influence stress levels, healing times, and overall satisfaction. This session explores how facilities, accessibility, and design shape patient perceptions.
Design researcher Marta Ribas, an expert in Healthy Spaces grounded in neuroscience, bioconstruction, and environmental psychology, has contributed to transform human experience by pioneering research using an evidence-based methodology. By combining subjective user feedback, objective analysis through neurotechnology and AI, and environmental measurements, she offers a holistic understanding merging design with health optimization to create harmonic and high-performance spaces.
