What is the right balance between elevated user experiences and clinically efficient solutions to serve current work processes? How can we design spatial solutions that are flexible, adaptable, and process neutral, so they remain relevant in this rapidly evolving world? As a board-certified healthcare architect, these questions have guided Akshay through various client and stakeholder interactions across three continents. These ideas have helped him balance visionary attitude, lean thinking, and evidence-based approaches to arrive at contextually relevant, safe, efficient, and effective solutions.
