Redesigning Brain Recovery Environments
Neuroscience Optimised Virtual Environments Living Lab (NOVELL)
Our Aims
Optimise stroke rehabilitation services and environments through design
Develop technology, education and research opportunities
Create strong partnerships between government, healthcare, industry, academia and community
Generate a new and rigorous design process guided by a Living Lab framework
Innovating solutions for rehabilitation facility design
About us
NOVELL Redesign is a healthcare redesign and innovation project focused on transforming stroke rehabilitation environments. Our process is user-centred, multi-stakeholder and led by an interdisciplinary team. Together, we are working to optimise outcomes for all users.
We bring a pioneering and rigorous approach to healthcare design. Using a Living Lab framework and a Design Science approach, we integrate evidence from rehabilitation architecture and neuroscience with cutting edge technology to produce new, virtual rehabilitation facility designs which can then be tested, evaluated, refined and realised.
Our
Living Lab Approach
Existing user-centred, co-creation methodologies are adapted to address our specific project goals.
End-users are involved as equal contributors from the outset and in all project activities.
All stakeholders are engaged to ensure a mutually valued outcome, including representatives from public and private sectors, academia and every-day citizens.
Cycles of innovation are run within a virtual, technology-enabled setting to rapidly prototype new designs in context.
