Simpati’K Set Takes a Fresh and Colorful Design to Uplift Young Patients

— January 13, 2014 — Art & Design
The designer of the Simpati’K set understands that atmosphere can have a great effect on the mental state of a person. Plenty of hospital patients go downhill psychologically, even though they might be improving physically with constant care and attention.

This concept for a wheelchair and a stretcher is the work of Spain's Benjamin Migliore. He developed equipment that bears a significant reduction in material and component bulk, giving the pieces a lighter and swifter look. You'll notice considerable similarities between the composition of the two, since the creator would like to see one convert into the other. The Simpati’K project is complete with the use of bright green upholstery and yellow accents for a youthful and exciting aesthetic.
Trend Themes
1. Youthful Healthcare Design - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the medical equipment industry by rethinking the traditional look and feel of healthcare products to prioritize a more youthful and exciting aesthetic.
2. Minimalistic Medical Equipment - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the medical industry by designing equipment that bears a significant reduction in material and component bulk, giving the pieces a lighter and swifter look.
3. Convertible Patient Equipment - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the medical equipment industry by exploring the possibility of designing equipment that can be easily converted into one another, such as a wheelchair and stretcher combination.
Industry Implications
