Abstract

In this position paper, we outline a project being developed to improve the physical environment of a hospital emergency department to reduce staff stress levels and increase restorative opportunities. We outline a potential pragmatic participatory method to deal with staff members’ limited time, which uses social software implemented on situated interactive displays.
