Intelligent lighting is now quickly becoming a versatile design component in healthcare facilities, capable to transform several clinical programs and connected built environments. Innovations in lighting design and technology unlock many benefits for building operations, faculty, and the daily customers that experience the value of smart healthcare facilities.
Listen to Abby Lipperman, PE, LEED AP, Manager of Engineering Infrastructure at Children's Health in Texas, and Todd Herrmann, PE, Principal and Electrical Engineer at Smith Seckman Reid, Inc. (SSR) in Texas.
Without having a crystal ball to disclose what’s coming, how do design professionals address the future demands of built environments? Well, to learn more on this question, we were happy to sit down with Mark Bryan & Jonathan Wilch of M+A Architects to hear how they address these design challenges.
Mark is the Director of Innovation + Research, a Sr. Interior Designer, Certified Futurist, and foresight practice leader. Jonathan is the Director of the Healthcare and Higher Education studio as well as the Healthcare Practice Leader at M+A Architects.
Mark and Jonathan describe the roles of a foresight practitioner or futurist and how they apply this technology to the design and construction of a variety of built environments. They highlight a recent project application with The Ohio State University School of Nursing and the correlating signals & drivers to frame respite rooms for clinical staff, designing for experiences, and what the future of architecture might look like in the years ahead.
Opened to serve the greater Philadelphia area just a few months ago, the state-of-the-art Pavilion at The University of Pennsylvania Medicine is one of the largest hospital projects in the US in recent years .
In this episode of Tech Vitals, Zac and Debbie chat with Sean Sarles and Kate Desanto-Newcomb, two of the first nurses involved with this mega project. Over the seven-year journey, Sean and Kate steered and guided the transformational vision for this innovative facility. Now – we have the pleasure of talking with them full circle – to see how the project matured and how the initial vision became a reality.
An MSN Registered Nurse, Sean Sarles is the Associate Director of Clinical Technology at Penn Medicine. Also, an MSN Registered Nurse, Kate Desanto-Newcomb was the Clinical Liaison lead on the Pavilion project.

In this episode of Tech Vitals, guest host Blake Mohler sits down with SSR colleague Michelle Fields to discuss her passion around GIS — Geographic Information Science. This is the scientific discipline of using location intelligence to explore spatial patters and relationships to help you answer questions and solve problems relating to a variety of different topics.
Michelle talks with Blake about the different applications of GIS, our growing UAV program, and her passion for Earth sciences and technology. The integration of this technology has wide usage and impacts on the efficiency of our projects.
Every year, from May 6-12, the American Nurses Association celebrates Nurses Week. At SSR, we are always grateful and appreciative of the dedication and hard work nurses give day in and day out. This year especially, we wanted to extend a happy Nurses Week and a very big THANK YOU to all the incredible nursing professionals and friends.
To celebrate the essential healthcare innovations engineered by the nursing profession, we were both delighted and inspired by our wonderful conversation with Dr. Oriana Beaudet this month.
As a Registered Nurse, Doctor of Nursing Practice, Public Health Nurse, and leading Nurse Futurist, Oriana Beaudet is the Vice President of Nursing Innovation for the American Nursing Association (ANA) Enterprise.
Her unique journey of nursing is fascinating and it’s easy to grasp what fuels her passion for nursing innovation.
We learned lessons in how these experiences help to shape modern healthcare environment design challenges.
