In this episode of The Architecture of Healing, host Chase Miller sits down with Corey Gaarde, Principal at IMEG, to discuss how thoughtful integration of technology can profoundly impact healthcare design and delivery. Corey shares how his early fascination with science and engineering eventually led him to a career in healthcare technology. Together, they explore how the physical environment and care delivery models must be aligned with evolving clinical technologies, from supporting virtual nursing to reducing alarm fatigue and enhancing code response. Corey emphasizes that technology isn't just about devices and data; it's about supporting clinicians, improving patient safety, and enabling scalable, future-ready care models. This episode is a must-listen for healthcare executives, designers, and planners looking to reframe technology as a foundational element in healing.
