June 6 is International “What Matters to You?” Day! “What matters to you?” is a simple question that can have a big impact on care. When providers have a conversation about what really matters to the people they care for, it helps them ensure that care is aligned with patient preferences and provide more patient- and family-centred care.

Glad I didn’t miss out on this! Planning, Designing & Developing Sustainable Healthcare Facilities in Asia. I was privileged to attend Asia Healthcare Week 2024 and be amongst healthcare leaders to understand their challenges. As the event featured speakers in both the public and private sector from across the region, it truly delivered thought provoking insights which help me to understand the market we operate in. Everything in the Palm of Your Hand! Without a doubt the game changer for organisations large and small has been the transformative nature of the mobile phone in shaping patient engagement. This has created an abundance of easy to digest data highlighting inefficiencies in the system. The mobile phone has created a feedback culture which drives quality scores ever higher. The mobile phone has also released a host of apps that improve visibility and allow patients to plan and pay for their treatment. This eliminates the need to hang around a registration or payment counter, the waiting room or indeed the pharmacy as medications can be delivered directly to your door. With mobile technologies becoming ubiquitous, the technology focus will continue to move upstream. We already see this in the move to leverage on technology to deliver community based healthcare. We see this in the development of robotics and other high-cost models that are only justified through the advancement of patient care; i.e. there is no plausible financial gain that gives the green light to the investment. So what of the Buildings? Our interest in all this resides in the fabric of buildings; How shall we design buildings and spaces for the future? What technologies are we planning for? How are these buildings to be used to deliver future models of care? Riding across the landscape are the questions of affordability, ecology and sustainability. Big challenges remain such as reducing inefficiencies and cost.  Then there’s the part we enjoy the most; creating better, inspirational places to work and to heal. I’m already looking forward to the 2025 edition of Asia Healthcare Week! Are you? Nicholas Merrow-Smith is a certified healthcare facilities planner and accredited interior designer.

Much in the field of longevity right now focuses on hightech and high cost "hacks." Although there are exciting cutting edge medical procedures and wearables that can help us live longer, those in the "Blue Zones" use none of those. Most of what they have in common is age-old wisdom. Are you familiar with the Blue Zones? What practices have you incorporated into your self-care routine? #longevity #wellness #bluezones #healthylifestyle #aging #seniorfitness
