Conference Healing Nature: Transforming Healthcare Spaces through Art and Technology
The Healing Nature project showcases results that combine art, animation, and augmented reality to transform hospitals across three countries
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
The Healing Nature project has reached its final phase, bringing together an innovative combination of art, animation and augmented reality in hospital environments across Croatia, Portugal and Bulgaria.
Over the past period, murals, animations, augmented reality content, educational workshops and research tools have been developed, collectively creating a new hospital experience for children, parents and healthcare professionals.
The conference "Healing Nature - Transforming Healthcare Spaces through Art and Technology" brings together members from the three participating countries to share the outcomes of this project, what we have learned and the path forward.
