Excerpt from book

“Due to an ageing society and the rising prevalence of frailty and chronic disease, the issue of nursing care is becoming increasingly urgent. People who now lead lifestyles characterised by new media, e-mobility and designer glasses will eventually be affected by age-related limitations in physical function, mobility and independent living. Can their living environments be designed so as to ensure that they will be able to live independently for as long as possible in their later years of life or after they require care? And how can we design the necessary interior furnishings, such as nursing care beds and rollators, so that the user experiences them not as discriminatory hospital environments but as attractive and socially acceptable interiors?”
