These Startups are Remodeling the Doctor’s Office

In the typical medical practice, smart design is DOA. The pandemic has given patient-centric architecture a shot in the arm.

Offices have been designed with a focus on staff efficiency — hence the “cluster” of exam rooms that are almost impossible to exit– and a cost-effective use of space. Now, the doctor’s office — with its confusing layout, harsh lighting, and disconcerting educational posters–is about to get an overhaul, for a whole host of reasons.

HealthQuarters‘ vision is that of a one-stop shop for healthcare, with doctors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, dentists, and others all in the same location.
