3D digital technologies tackling mental injury prevention in health care

The Safety Sensescaping project is part of Peninsula Health’s Thriving in Health program, which aims to create safe and mentally healthy environments for health care workers to thrive in.
Project lead and RMIT Senior Lecturer Dr. Olivier Cotsaftis worked with doctors, nurses and non-clinicians at Peninsula Health for three years to understand the psychosocial hazards in their workplace and find design-led solutions to prevent mental injury.
Cotsaftis said hospital scrubs were an unconscious source of stress for many health care workers.
Designed according to the standard male or female body, scrubs do not typically accommodate the wide range of body shapes and sizes.
Scrubs are also often made from scratchy synthetic materials, which can cause the wearer to overheat quickly.
