Let’s take a look at how some tech trends will affect new design concepts for future physicians and help to reduce medical office space square footage requirements:<\/p>\n

On Your Feet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doctors and designers are recognizing the health risks of some staff being stuck behind a desk all day and offering a practical solution, standing desks. With a wall-mounted adjustable monitor, the computer screen is easily raised and lowered to accommodate, sitting, standing, even kneeling in the workspace.<\/p>\n

Changing these positions throughout the day helps increase both circulation and productivity, there are even options that come with a treadmill. These adjustable workstations take up less space than a traditional seated desk area.<\/p>\n

The Growth of Handheld Devices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Similar to smartphones, tablets and laptops, diagnostic equipment is also shrinking in size while growing in productivity. For example, in the medical profession, newer high-quality ultrasound devices can be carried in one hand or fit into a pocket, while in dental offices, handheld x-ray machines will be carried from room to room. This will decrease the space necessary for larger examination rooms without the older, bulkier equipment.<\/p>\n

Talking Rooms and mHealth<\/strong><\/p>\n

The explosion of mHealth (Mobile Health Devices) will reduce the number of face-to-face doctor visits as more people are using this online option for their healthcare needs. This increase in internet-based medicine will also decrease the number of exam rooms necessary. They will be replaced with “talking rooms” devoid of equipment and further lessen square footage.<\/p>\n
