A new article, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, unveils a software application that transforms patients' homes into therapeutic environments for chronic disease management, potentially impacting over 100 million US adults living with chronic conditions.
The article “Home Environment as a Therapeutic Target for Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Diseases: Delivering Restorative Living Spaces, Patient Education and Self-care by Bridging Biophilic Design, E-commerce and Digital Health Technologies”, introduces a patent-pending software ecosystem that integrates biophilic design, e-commerce, and digital health technologies to create personalized treatments for diverse chronic diseases.
This innovative approach addresses critical limitations in current pharmaceutical interventions and provider-led patient care by co-targeting multiple factors driving chronic conditions. The research demonstrates targeted, multimodal interventions for diverse conditions including chronic pain, migraine, depression, anxiety, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
"We believe biophilic home environment should be recognized as a fundamental pillar of health, just as essential as nutrition, physical activity, quality sleep, and social support, in fostering sustainable well-being and improving health outcomes," says Dorothy Huntsman, the study's first author and founder of Dayhouse Studio.
Tye Farrow, world-renowned architect and author of the bestselling book "Constructing Health", commented, "This work can inspire architects and designers to play a more proactive role in promoting public health at scale."
Co-author on the article, Dr. Grzegorz Bulaj of OMNI Self-care adds, "An impact of the home environment on the patient's health has been overlooked and underutilized in medicine and healthcare. Our article explores how e-commerce, as a digital health technology, can seamlessly integrate a patient's living space, health education, self-care and pharmaceutical treatments to support individuals suffering from neurological and mental disorders."
Key potential impacts include:
- Improving patient engagement through personalized health-at-home programs
- Bridging consumer spending with healthcare outcomes
- Reducing healthcare costs by scaling up prevention across 125 million US households
- Increasing value proposition for consumer products and health technologies
Dayhouse Studio and OMNI Self-care's collaborative research represents a paradigm shift in chronic disease management and prevention, offering a scalable solution that reimagines healthcare beyond traditional medical interventions.
